HRES 119 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for designation of March 2023 as Music in Our Schools Month.

HRES 119 is a symbolic resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating March 2023 as "Music in Our Schools Month." It highlights music's cultural importance, historical role in education, and documented benefits for student engagement and development. The resolution specifically notes inequitable access to music programs in underserved schools (including those in urban/rural areas, high-poverty districts, and majority-Black, Hispanic, or Native American communities). As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new policies, funding, or mandates - it solely serves to publicly recognize the value of music education.
