Purpose and intent

H.R. 1213 is a commemorative House resolution that formally recognizes and commends Maribel Pidone for her contributions while serving as principal of Chester E. Jordan Elementary School. Its intent is ceremonial: to honor Ms. Pidone’s professional achievements and public service to her school and community.

Key provisions

  • Offers formal congratulations and commendation to Maribel Pidone for her leadership and contributions as principal of Chester E. Jordan Elementary School.
  • Typically such resolutions enumerate accomplishments, express appreciation from the House, and encourage continued success; the specific text of this resolution was not provided in the materials reviewed.

Note: This is an honorary, non‑binding resolution and does not create legal rights, change policy, or authorize spending.

Who is affected

  • Primary subject: Maribel Pidone (the honoree).
  • Secondary/indirect beneficiaries: Students, staff, families, and the broader Chester E. Jordan Elementary School community — in that the resolution publicly recognizes the school’s leadership and accomplishments.
  • No federal agencies, programs, or budgets are affected.

Sponsors and related measures

  • No financial, regulatory, or programmatic effects on federal law or funding.
