Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution expresses the House's support for designating March 2026 as Music in Our Schools Month and summarizes the value and history of music education. It highlights unequal access to music programs and says the House supports doing more to promote music teaching in public schools. The resolution does not create a law, provide funding, or compel other branches or levels of government to act. It is a formal, nonbinding statement of the House's views and encouragement.
As a simple resolution introduced in the House, it only requires approval by the House to be adopted; it is not sent to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law.
