US HR1108

Supports designating March 2026 as "Music in Our Schools Month" to recognize the importance of music education in American public schools

Recognizes music's long history in U.S. education, noting singing existed in classrooms before 1776 and music curriculum was first formally adopted in Boston public schools in 1838

Acknowledges disparate access to music education, with students in urban/rural communities, low-income schools, and majority Black, Hispanic, or Native American schools experiencing the greatest inequity

Cites the Every Student Succeeds Act's identification of music as part of a well-rounded education and research showing music participation improves social and academic outcomes, particularly for at-risk students

Calls for greater support for teaching and learning of music in public schools nationwide
