R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Donna High School Migrant Department has been 
awarded first-place recognition in the category of long-distance 
learning at the 2002 Texas Migrant Education Conference; and
	WHEREAS, For the fourth consecutive year, the Donna High 
School Migrant Department has earned this well-deserved 
first-place ranking, a tribute to both the program's quality and 
its collaborative efforts with universities to meet the educational 
needs of migrant students; and
	WHEREAS, The department attained the highest number of 
courses-on-disk completions through the UT-Austin Migrant Program 
in the Migrant Education Options (MEO) Lab; this valuable avenue 
allows students who cannot complete the entire class in person to 
make up credit through UT-Austin correspondence, course-on-disk, 
or on-line course work; and
	WHEREAS, MEO Lab equipment consists of 20 computers available 
specifically to migrant students and a library of core courses,  
including technology and communications offerings, that may be 
accessed through UT-Austin correspondence; and
	WHEREAS, The students and faculty of the Donna High School 
Migrant Department have performed admirably in their quest for 
academic excellence, and their notable achievements are indeed 
worthy of special commendation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the Donna High School Migrant 
Department on receiving first-place recognition in long-distance 
learning at the 2002 Texas Migrant Education Conference and that 
all those affiliated with the department be extended best wishes 
for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Donna High School Migrant Department as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
