Bill > J01379

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate the week of May 4-8, 2026, as Teacher Appreciation Week across the state. This proclamation aligns with the national observance of Teacher Appreciation Week and National Teacher Appreciation Day on May 5, 2026, aiming to honor educators for their crucial role in shaping students' lives, fostering critical thinking, and preparing them for future success. The resolution emphasizes that teachers serve as more than instructors, acting as mentors and role models who profoundly influence students both inside and outside the classroom, and it calls for a copy of this resolution to be sent to the Governor.
