This action is a statement by the Senate only and does not create law or require action by the President or federal agencies.
This is a Senate simple resolution acted on only by the Senate and is not sent to the President; it does not have the force of law. Such resolutions are typically adopted by a Senate majority or by unanimous consent.
This Senate resolution designates January 26–February 1, 2025, as "National School Choice Week." It commends students, parents, teachers, and K–12 school leaders, encourages parents to learn about schooling options, and urges public events to raise awareness of educational choice.
Senate resolutions are ceremonial and do not create binding law; likely to pass the Senate but not become public law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative Senate resolution that names the week of January 26–February 1, 2025, as National School Choice Week, supplies supporting 'whereas' clauses, and encourages public observance and information activities.
