Assembly Resolution No. 2049

BY: M. of A. Sayegh

MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
May 1, 2024, as School Principal's Day in the State
of New York

WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to highlight the men and women who lend
their passion and skills to educating our children; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 1, 2024, as School Principal's Day
in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National
School Principal's Day; and

WHEREAS, School Principal's Day was created to recognize the
essential role principals play in making a school great; and

WHEREAS, Principals are among the hardest working, yet often least
recognized individuals in education; they set the academic tone for
their schools, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination
that provide the mobilizing force for achieving student success; and

WHEREAS, School Principal's Day seeks to honor these unsung heroes
for their tireless efforts in pursuit of excellence in education; and

WHEREAS, Furthermore, this vital day is a widely recognized
celebration of the principalship, marked by national and state
resolutions supporting the event, as well as acknowledgements from U.S.
Senators and Representatives, and top government officials; however, the
most important National Principal's Day celebrations are the ones that
take place in schools and communities across the country; and

WHEREAS, Significant contributors to education in New York State,
our principals continually demonstrate an impressive dedication, an
unparalleled devotion and an unremitting enthusiasm for the quality of
the educational programs and opportunities offered at their schools for
the benefit of faculty and students, as well as for the entire
community; and

WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize the
educators of New York State who work to open the minds of their students
to new ideas, knowledge and dreams; who keep American democracy alive by
laying the foundation for good citizenship; who fill many roles such as
listeners, explorers, role models, motivators and mentors; and who
continue to influence their students long after the school days are only
memories; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 1, 2024, as School
Principal's Day in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
