SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 33

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pleasure in 
recognizing Stephanie Abraham Hirsh on the occasion of her 
retirement from the Richardson Independent School District Board 
of Trustees after nine years of exceptional service; and
	WHEREAS, Since being elected to the board of trustees
in 1996, Dr. Hirsh has demonstrated extraordinary dedication and 
commitment to the students and parents in the Richardson 
Independent School District community; and
	WHEREAS, Stephanie earned a doctoral degree in education, 
specializing in curriculum and instruction, and a master's degree
in education administration from the University of North Texas; 
she began working in the Richardson Independent School District 
as a classroom teacher in 1975, and she has held a number of 
leadership positions in the district; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Hirsh has been the deputy executive director 
of the National Staff Development Council, a nonprofit 
association that focuses on school improvement and staff 
development, since 2000; she had served with the council as 
associate executive director for two years; and
	WHEREAS, She is the coauthor of three manuals published by 
the National Staff Development Council, and she has published 
articles in a variety of educational publications; she serves on 
several advisory boards, including the National High School 
Alliance and the National Partnership for Quality After School 
Learning; she has been an outstanding leader in civic and 
religious organizations; and
	WHEREAS, The Richardson Independent School District and 
public education in Texas have benefited significantly from the 
expertise and guidance of Stephanie Hirsh, who generously 
contributed her time, talent, and resources; her confident 
leadership on the school district's board of trustees will be 
greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend
Stephanie Abraham Hirsh for her many contributions to the 
Richardson Independent School District and the educational
