SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 222

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize Gonzalo "Chalo" Garcia on the occasion of his recent 
return to the board of the Canutillo Independent School District; 
and
	WHEREAS, Chalo Garcia was a member of the first school 
board that helped form the Canutillo Independent School District 
in 1959, and early on, he played a major role in helping to shape 
the district into the highly respected school system it became; 
and
	WHEREAS, After its initial struggles with splitting from 
the county to educate its children, the school district thrived 
and became a seven-campus, high-performing entity that now 
receives accolades from educators across Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Chalo Garcia recently participated in a 
groundbreaking ceremony on a 50-acre site for the district's 
new high school, and the 72-year-old board member believes 
there are even better days yet ahead for the growing district; 
and
	WHEREAS, The dedicated volunteer and longtime community 
leader is justifiably proud of his many achievements, and he 
attributes much of his hard work on behalf of his community to 
the team mentality he learned in high school, where he was a star 
athlete; and
	WHEREAS, An exemplary citizen, Chalo Garcia has played a 
major role in the betterment of the Canutillo community, and his 
leadership on the school board will undoubtedly be an invaluable 
asset to the Canutillo Independent School District; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby commend Gonzalo Garcia for his 
dedication to helping with the education of the young people of 
our state and extend best wishes to him for continued success on 
the board of the Canutillo Independent School District; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
                                                                       Shapleigh
