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). These individuals, which include instructional aides, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, and custodial workers, play a vital role in the educational environment by providing essential services such as tutoring, classroom management support, meal preparation, and maintaining a safe learning atmosphere. Their efforts not only support students directly but also enhance the overall effectiveness of teachers and educational teams.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the often-overlooked work of PSRPs, which empowers students to achieve academic success and personal development. It calls upon the Governor and the Legislature to commend these professionals for their contributions and encourages the citizens of New Jersey to participate in the observance of this designated day. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon approval, which occurred on January 30, 2025.
