S. Res. 161 is a symbolic resolution that expresses Senate support for designating the week of April 7-11, 2025, as "National Assistant Principals Week." The resolution honors assistant principals and recognizes their critical contributions to schools, including their roles in instructional leadership, maintaining safe learning environments, managing daily school operations, and building relationships between schools and their communities. The resolution, introduced by Senators Durbin and Heinrich, aligns with a designation already made by major principals' organizations including the National Association of Secondary School Principals. There is no funding or enforcement mechanism associated with this resolution—it simply encourages Americans to observe the week with appropriate recognition of assistant principals' work in education. The measure was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
