This week, my colleague Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) and I introduced a resolution to honor school social workers, who play such an important role in helping our children reach their potential, officially designating this week as School Social Worker Week.

It’s School Social Work Week and boy do we appreciate our MNPS Social Workers team! 👏🏽
