Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2-8, 2025, as School Social Worker Week in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 2-8, 2025, as School Social Worker Week in New York State, recognizing the critical role school social workers play in supporting students' academic and mental health needs. The resolution highlights that school social workers are essential members of education teams who provide vital services to students facing challenges such as disability, poverty, discrimination, mental health issues, and other barriers to learning. It emphasizes that these professionals are particularly important now, given that nearly one in five children has a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder, and they often help students access mental health services that might otherwise be unavailable. The resolution also notes that school social workers contribute to improving educational outcomes by decreasing absences and dropout rates while increasing graduation rates, and it calls on the people of New York to observe the week with activities that promote awareness of school social workers' contributions to student success and community well-being.
