Governors in seven states—Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Vermont—declared March 26, 2021 SEL Day. In addition, several cities and school boards issued proclamations and resolutions, including: NJ State Board of Education, City of Houston, City of Austin, City of Hackensack, Bloomfield NJ schools, and Roselle NJ schools.
