Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 3, 2025, as Social Emotional Learning Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (Senate Resolution 449) requesting Governor Hochul to officially declare March 3, 2025, as "Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Day" in New York State. It does not create new laws or directly affect any individuals or programs; instead, it asks the Governor to recognize SEL Day to raise public awareness about social-emotional learning. The resolution cites SEL's benefits, including improved academic performance and a high return on investment for education funding, but focuses solely on designating a day for awareness. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding policy impact.
