WEEK OF APRIL 6 THROUGH APRIL 10, 2026, AS “NATIONAL ASSISTANT
PRINCIPALS WEEK”
Mr. DURBIN (for himself, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Heinrich, and Mr. Lujan) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions:
S. Res. 658
Whereas the National Association of Secondary School
Principals (referred to in this preamble as “NASSP”), the
National Association of Elementary School Principals
(referred to in this preamble as “NAESP”), and the American
Federation of School Administrators have designated the week
of April 6 through April 10, 2026, as “National Assistant
Principals Week”;
Whereas an assistant principal, as a member of the school
administration, interacts with many sectors of the school
community, including support staff, instructional staff,
students, and parents;
Whereas assistant principals are responsible for
establishing a positive learning environment and building
strong relationships between their school and community;
Whereas assistant principals play a pivotal role in the
instructional leadership of their schools by supervising
student instruction, mentoring teachers, recognizing the
achievements of staff, encouraging collaboration among staff,
ensuring the implementation of best practices, monitoring
student achievement and progress, facilitating and modeling
data-driven decision making to inform instruction, and
guiding the direction of targeted intervention and school
improvement;
Whereas the day-to-day logistical operations of schools
require assistant principals to monitor and address facility
needs, attendance, transportation issues, and scheduling
challenges, as well as to supervise extra- and co-curricular
events;
Whereas assistant principals are entrusted with maintaining
an inviting, safe, and orderly school environment that
supports the growth and achievement of each and every student
by nurturing positive peer relationships, recognizing student
achievement, mediating conflicts, analyzing behavior
patterns, providing interventions, and, when necessary,
taking disciplinary actions;
Whereas, since its establishment in 2004, the NASSP
National Assistant Principal of the Year Program has
recognized outstanding middle and high school assistant
principals who demonstrate success in leadership, curriculum,
and personalization;
Whereas the NAESP National Outstanding Assistant Principal
Program promotes the fundamental importance of the assistant
principal and honors exceptional elementary and middle-level
assistant principals who demonstrate excellence in
educational leadership and set high standards for students,
colleagues, parents, and the community; and
Whereas the week of April 6 through April 10, 2026, is an
appropriate week to designate as “National Assistant
Principals Week”: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) supports the designation of “National Assistant
Principals Week”;
(2) honors the contributions of assistant principals to the
success of students in the United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe
National Assistant Principals Week with appropriate
ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of the role
played by assistant principals in school leadership and
ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality
education.
