This resolution designates the week of April 27 through May 1, 2026, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week" to recognize the contributions of over one million school-based support professionals. These professionals include school counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other specialists who work to remove barriers to student learning and create safe school environments. The resolution acknowledges that these personnel provide critical mental health, behavioral, social, and physical support services that contribute to improved academic performance and student wellbeing. The Senate commends these professionals for their evidence-based work and encourages federal, state, and local policymakers to raise awareness of their importance in schools. No funding is authorized by this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing congressional support for recognizing these educators' work.
