119th (2025–2027)
S.Res. 628
This Senate resolution expresses support for designating March 2026 as "Music in Our Schools Month." The resolution recognizes music's importance to American culture and education, highlighting research showing that school music programs improve student engagement, academic performance, and development of valuable skills like teamwork and leadership. The resolution acknowledges a significant problem: students in low-income, urban, rural, and predominantly minority schools have disproportionately less access to quality music education compared to other students. No federal funding is allocated through this resolution, as it is purely a symbolic measure meant to raise awareness about music education and call for greater support for teaching music in public schools nationwide.
