Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution expresses the House's support for designating the week beginning November 3, 2025, as National School Psychology Week. It does not create binding law, does not go to the Senate or the President, and does not require government action. It simply recognizes the role of school psychologists and encourages people to observe the week with appropriate activities.
This House resolution expresses support for designating the week beginning November 3, 2025, as "National School Psychology Week." The text highlights the role of school psychologists in supporting students' mental health, social-emotional development, academic success, and school safety, notes that roughly 44,000 school psychologists are credentialed in the U.S., and cites professional standards from the National Association of School Psychologists.
The resolution (1) supports the designation, (2) honors school psychologists' contributions, and (3) encourages people to observe the week with ceremonies and awareness activities.
On content alone, the resolution is extremely likely to be adopted in the House as a ceremonial matter. However, simple House resolutions do not become laws and do not require Senate or Presidential approval; therefore the likelihood that this specific H.Res. text will become law is effectively zero. If the goal is simply formal recognition by the House, passage probability is high, but conversion into binding law would require a different vehicle not present in this text.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative resolution: it provides clear purpose and succinct operative language appropriate to a nonbinding designation, while properly omitting statutory changes, cost commitments, and detailed implementation requirements that would be inappropriate for this form.
Degree of concern about symbolism versus need for funding: liberals press for concrete resources; centrists and conservatives note it's symbolic unless paired with programs.

A mainstream liberal is likely to view the resolution positively as a recognition of school mental-health professionals and an opportunity to destigmatize mental-health care for children.
They will see it as consistent with priorities around equitable education, social-emotional learning, and school-based supports, though they may note it is only symbolic and does not address funding or staffing shortages.
They may also use the resolution as a platform to press for increased hiring, higher pay, or expanded services in underserved communities.
A centrist/moderate will likely see this resolution as a routine, noncontroversial recognition of a professional group that contributes to student wellbeing and school functioning.
They will appreciate the focus on mental health and data-driven practice noted in the text, while noting the measure is ceremonial and does not create policy or funding.
Centrists may endorse the awareness goal but want attention on measurable follow-through and cost-effective ways to strengthen services if momentum develops.
A mainstream conservative is likely to regard the resolution as largely symbolic and generally acceptable because it recognizes mental-health professionals who support school safety and students' ability to learn.
Some conservatives may be cautious about mentions of national professional organizations, social-emotional learning, or wide interpretations of mental-health programming in schools, and could flag parental rights or local control concerns.
Overall, absent policy mandates or funding obligations, many conservatives would probably not oppose a ceremonial designation.
