AI Summary

This joint resolution designates the second Friday in December of each year as "PSRPs in Our Schools Day" in New Jersey to recognize and honor paraprofessionals and school-related personnel (PSRPs). PSRPs are essential education workers who include instructional and non-instructional aides, bus drivers, cafeteria, custodial, maintenance, and grounds staff who provide critical support in schools through activities like tutoring, classroom management, translation, student supervision, meal preparation, maintaining school facilities, and student transportation. The resolution acknowledges that PSRPs play a vital role in facilitating communication between students, teachers, and parents, and that their often unrecognized efforts enable educators to enhance classroom effectiveness and help students achieve greater academic success. By establishing this designated day, the New Jersey Governor and Legislature formally recognize and commend PSRPs, and call upon state citizens to participate in appropriately observing and honoring these important education professionals.
