H.Res. 355 is a symbolic resolution that designates the week of April 28 through May 2, 2025, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week." The resolution recognizes and honors more than one million school-based professionals including counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, therapists, and speech pathologists who support student learning and mental health. These professionals work to reduce barriers to learning, create safe school environments, and provide evidence-based interventions that help students succeed academically and socially. The resolution encourages federal, state, and local policymakers to raise awareness of how these professionals contribute to school climate, mental health, and overall student wellbeing. This is a recognition measure with no funding or enforcement mechanisms—it simply expresses Congress's support for acknowledging the contributions of these education support professionals.
