Bill > SCR31

This resolution celebrates the 20th anniversary of California Poetry Out Loud, a nationwide program that encourages high school students to engage with poetry through memorization, performance, and competition. The resolution recognizes that in 2025, the California Arts Council will host the state finals on March 16 and 17 in Sacramento, and highlights that California's Poetry Out Loud is the largest event of its kind in the United States. In 2025, the program involved 17,311 students and 416 teachers across California, with the California Arts Council collaborating with State-Local Partnership (SLP) agencies to organize competitions in local schools and communities. The Legislature joins the California Arts Council in commemorating this milestone, expressing appreciation for the students, teachers, and county partners who have committed to promoting art, history, and poetry through the Poetry Out Loud program. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution appropriately.
