In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating the week of January 26 through February 1, 2025, as National School Choice Week. It highlights that providing a diversity of K-12 education choices empowers parents to select environments that meet their children's needs. The text notes that high-quality options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and home schooling. Furthermore, the House of Representatives congratulates students, parents, teachers, and school leaders for their persistence and achievements. Finally, the resolution encourages parents to learn more about their options and encourages the American people to hold events raising awareness about educational opportunities.
