AI Summary

This Joint Resolution officially designates the first full week of May each year as "Teacher Appreciation Week" in the State of New Jersey, a recognition that aligns with the nationally observed "National Teacher Appreciation Week" since 1985. The resolution, prompted by the significant and often overlooked contributions of teachers, particularly their adaptability and dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic when they transitioned to remote instruction for over 1.4 million public school students, aims to formally acknowledge their crucial role in shaping the next generation. It also respectfully requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe this week with appropriate activities and programs, thereby highlighting the exceptional efforts and enduring impact of New Jersey's educators.
