    1-2  service of countless members of local school boards, who give

    1-5        WHEREAS, Such dedicated service is one of the purest
    1-6  expressions of the grassroots democratic principles upon which our
    1-7  nation is based; and
    1-8        WHEREAS, Their commendable efforts have ensured that
    1-9  decisions about our public schools are made within the community,
   1-10  where proper consideration can be given to the specific needs of
   1-11  the children and families of that area; furthermore, they have set
   1-12  positive examples for our young people of the admirable tradition
   1-13  of volunteerism; and
   1-14        WHEREAS, Despite facing daily challenges in their task of
   1-15  educating tomorrow's leaders, these esteemed individuals remain
   1-16  dedicated to public service, and their outstanding commitment is
   1-17  truly worthy of legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it
   1-18        RESOLVED, That the 74th Texas Legislature hereby designate

   1-20  Texas and commend the members of our local school boards on their
