The Joint Resolution No. 1 designates the second Friday in December each year as "PSRPs in Our Schools Day" in New Jersey, aimed at recognizing the significant contributions of paraprofessionals and school-related personnel (PSRPs) within the state's educational system. PSRPs encompass a variety of roles, including instructional aides, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, and custodial workers, all of whom provide essential services that support student learning and well-being. Their efforts include tutoring, classroom management, meal preparation, and maintaining a safe learning environment, which collectively enhance the educational experience for students.

The resolution emphasizes the critical role PSRPs play in facilitating communication among students, teachers, and parents, thereby empowering educators to be more effective in their roles. It acknowledges that while their work often goes unrecognized, PSRPs are vital members of the educational team, contributing to student success. The resolution calls upon the citizens of New Jersey to honor and participate in the observance of "PSRPs in Our Schools Day," highlighting the importance of recognizing the dedication and impact of these individuals in the school community.
