Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2705; text: CR S2702)
This resolution is a symbolic Senate measure honoring public charter schools and celebrating the 27th Annual National Charter Schools Week, scheduled for May 10 through May 16, 2026. It commends students, parents, teachers, and staff at charter schools nationwide for their contributions to public education and for helping narrow academic achievement gaps, particularly among disadvantaged students in rural and urban communities. The resolution highlights data showing charter school enrollment growth from 660,000 students in 2002 to about 3.7 million in 2021, along with research findings that low-income students in charter schools showed greater learning gains than peers in traditional public schools. It affects charter school communities broadly but carries no legal or funding requirements, as it is a nonbinding statement of support. The Senate also encourages Americans to hold local events and activities during the designated week to celebrate high-quality public charter schools.
