Expressing support for the designation of the week beginning March 5, 2024, as "School Social Work Week".

House Resolution 1059 is a measure that officially recognizes the contributions of school social workers by supporting the designation of the week starting March 5, 2024, as "School Social Work Week." The resolution highlights the vital role these professionals play in supporting students' mental health, academic success, and social-emotional development within the K-12 education system. While the resolution does not authorize new funding or create new programs, it serves as a formal acknowledgment of the specialized services social workers provide to help students overcome personal and systemic barriers to learning.
