A resolution designating the week of February 23 through February 27, 2026, as "National Public Schools Week".
Summary
This resolution proposes to officially designate the week of February 23 through February 27, 2026, as National Public Schools Week. The designation aims to recognize and celebrate the role of public schools in American education and communities.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a congressional tribute to public education. The resolution was introduced by Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) on February 26, 2026, and was passed by the Senate the same day by unanimous consent. While the designation has symbolic value in highlighting the importance of public schools, it does not create any new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements for schools or citizens.
