SR 279 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing March 24 to 28, 2025, as Texas Retired Teachers Week.

This resolution designates March 24-28, 2025, as Texas Retired Teachers Week to honor the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA). It recognizes TRTA’s 100,000+ members for their volunteer work (over 6 million hours annually), contributions to education (including 1.7+ million books donated to children’s programs), and economic impact through retirement payments. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it is purely ceremonial recognition by the Texas Senate. The Senate formally adopted it on March 26, 2025, and will provide the TRTA with a copy as a gesture of appreciation.
