 1-1           WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
 1-2     welcome the visiting students from Bynum School to the State
 1-3     Capitol on March 28, 2001; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, Led by Superintendent Polly Boyd, this outstanding
 1-5     school is located on Highway 171 eight miles east of Hillsboro; for
 1-6     the past four years, Bynum has earned an "exemplary" rating from
 1-7     the Texas Education Agency, making it one of only 14 school
 1-8     districts to be so honored in the Lone Star State during that time;
 1-9     and
1-10           WHEREAS, At the present time, approximately half of Bynum's
1-11     seniors are enrolled at Hill College in Hillsboro; moreover, all of
1-12     its juniors and seniors tested at the exit level have passed all
1-13     sections of the TAAS test, while a quarter of the junior class has
1-14     earned TASP exempt status based on their TAAS scores; and
1-15           WHEREAS, In attendance today are the junior and senior
1-16     government classes taught by Robert Stevens at Bynum School; it is
1-17     indeed appropriate to honor these fine young people as they visit
1-18     the State Capitol and witness firsthand their state government in
1-19     action; now, therefore, be it
1-20           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-21     Legislature hereby welcome the students from Bynum School to the
1-22     State Capitol and extend to them sincere best wishes for an
1-23     enjoyable and informative visit.
