This bill is a resolution expressing Congress's support for designating the week of February 2–6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week." It is a symbolic measure, meaning it does not create any new laws, spend government money, or require anyone to do anything differently. Its primary purpose is to formally recognize and honor the work that school counselors do across the country.
The resolution highlights the important role school counselors play in the lives of students, helping them with academic planning, college and career preparation, and personal and social development. By passing this resolution, Congress would be officially acknowledging the value of school counseling as a profession and drawing public attention to it during that specific week in February 2026.
This bill would affect school counselors, students, and school communities nationwide — though in a symbolic rather than practical way. It does not change funding, hiring, or any school policies. Instead, it serves as a public statement of appreciation from the federal government. Resolutions like this are common in Congress and are typically used to recognize important causes, professions, or awareness campaigns.
