Memorials, Death - Josseline Jeanneth Escalante Vega -

SJR 39 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Josseline Jeanneth Escalante Vega, a 16-year-old Antioch High School student who died in the January 2025 school shooting, and the two classmates injured in the attack. It formally commemorates her life, character, and aspirations (including her dream of becoming a doctor), while extending condolences to her family and offering support to the affected school community. This resolution does not create new laws or policies - it is a symbolic gesture of remembrance approved by Tennessee's legislature and governor. It directly affects no individuals through legislative action, serving solely as a formal expression of community mourning.
