Bill > AJR194

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, stemming from the State Senate and General Assembly, acknowledges the crucial role teachers play in education, their dedication to student success, and their extraordinary efforts, particularly highlighted by their innovative responses to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as transitioning to remote instruction for over 1.4 million public school students. 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 to honor the exceptional contributions of New Jersey's educators.
