Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution is a simple House resolution that designates the week of May 5 through May 9, 2025 as "Teacher Appreciation Week" and expresses the House's support for teachers. It is a statement of the House's views and priorities rather than a law and does not change federal programs or create legal rights. It recognizes teachers, highlights survey findings about teacher views, and encourages federal, state, and local leaders to engage with teachers. It does not require the President's approval and has no binding legal effect.
