Bill > SR0089

This resolution formally recognizes January 25-31, 2026, as Catholic Schools Week, acknowledging the significant contributions of Catholic elementary and high schools across Michigan. It highlights that these schools serve over 50,000 students, educate many non-Catholic and economically disadvantaged students, and promote faith, character, and community service, aligning with Michigan's constitutional encouragement of education. The resolution also notes that Catholic schools save taxpayers substantial amounts by educating students who would otherwise attend public schools, and that they foster a strong partnership with families to ensure students lead productive lives that benefit future generations. The theme for this year's Catholic Schools Week, as designated by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, is "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community."
