01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating Community School Coordinators Appreciation Week and thanks those coordinators for their work. It encourages students, parents, school administrators, and public officials to participate in events recognizing the week. As a simple House resolution, it does not create law or require anyone to take action; it is a formal, nonbinding statement of the House's position.

This nonbinding House resolution expresses support for designating September 14–20, 2025 as "Community School Coordinators Appreciation Week." It includes findings (whereas clauses) that summarize research on community schools’ positive effects on attendance, behavior, mental and physical health, graduation rates, and social return on investment, and it thanks community school coordinators for their work.

The resolution encourages students, parents, school administrators, and public officials to participate in celebratory events.

It does not authorize funding or create new programs; it is a symbolic statement of support and recognition.

Passage0/100

The text is a non-binding House resolution expressing support for an appreciation week; such resolutions do not create law and do not require presidential signature. Judged solely on content and legislative form, it is not a bill that can become law.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is well-constructed as a commemorative measure: it clearly states the designation and supporting rationale, sets specific dates, and uses the conventional operative language (expresses support, thanks, encourages participation). It does not attempt substantive legal changes, and its limited procedural content is proportionate to a symbolic designation.

Contention12/100

Scope: Liberals want this symbolic act linked to funding/expansion; conservatives emphasize keeping it symbolic and local.

Scope: Liberals want this symbolic act linked to funding/expansion; conservatives emphasize keeping it symbolic and local.
Progressive95%

A mainstream progressive would view the resolution positively as a recognition of community schools and the staff who connect schools with community resources.

They would welcome the resolution’s emphasis on mental health, equity, and closing achievement gaps and see it as a tangible sign of federal recognition for community-based supports.

They would also note that the measure is symbolic and may press for follow-up actions such as sustained funding, expansion of evidence-based community school models, or protections for equitable access.

Leans supportive
Centrist90%

A centrist/ pragmatic observer would see this resolution as a low-cost, noncontroversial recognition of educators and coordinators who link schools with community services.

They would appreciate the cited evidence about positive outcomes but note that the resolution is symbolic and does not change policy or budgets.

They may be receptive to the idea of community schools where evidence supports impact, while wanting clarity that this is not an unfunded federal mandate.

Leans supportive
Conservative70%

A mainstream conservative would likely view the resolution as largely symbolic and therefore not objectionable in principle, since it merely recognizes coordinators rather than creating new federal programs.

Some conservatives may question the studies and return-on-investment claims cited in the text or be wary of framing that could be used to justify future federal spending.

Overall, most would see little reason to oppose an appreciation week, though a minority might critique any implied expansion of federal roles in local education.

Why this could stall
  • Whether the House Committee that received the resolution will schedule it for floor consideration (timing and floor calendar are unknown).
  • Whether proponents will seek a companion Senate resolution or a concurrent resolution that would require Senate action—this could change the practical prospects for formal adoption beyond the House.
