H.Res. 1108 is a symbolic resolution expressing Congressional support for designating March 2026 as Music in Our Schools Month. The resolution does not create new programs or allocate funding, but rather recognizes the cultural and educational importance of music and calls attention to inequities in music education access. It highlights research showing that school music programs improve student academic performance, social development, and workforce skills, while acknowledging that students in low-income communities and schools serving predominantly minority populations have less access to quality music education. The resolution was introduced by Representative Velázquez and seven other lawmakers and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This type of resolution is largely symbolic and aims to raise awareness about the value of music education in American schools.
