En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It formally recognizes the week of February 2-6, 2026 as National School Counseling Week and praises the role school counselors play in helping students succeed academically, personally, and socially. The resolution lists reasons for the recognition, including that counselors help students explore their interests and abilities, work with parents and teachers to support student growth, and connect schools with community resources. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the Georgia School Counselor Association.
