Memorials, Recognition - "Arts in Education Week," March 2-8, 2025 -

This resolution designates March 2-8, 2025, as "Arts in Education Week" in Tennessee to recognize the value of arts education. It does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the role of arts (including music, visual arts, and theater) in developing students' critical thinking, creativity, and academic success, as highlighted by state data showing 30% of students lack arts course access. The resolution was passed unanimously by both chambers and signed by the Governor.
