WHEREAS, Dr. Allan K. Bird has given more than 20 years of
sterling service to the Plano ISD School Board, including seven
years as president, and he is being honored for his service in
behalf of area schoolchildren with the dedication of the Dr. Allan
Bird Education Center on March 28, 2005; and
WHEREAS, Currently a professor of speech pathology at Texas
Woman's University, Dr. Bird is an esteemed educator who was
recently recognized by his peers when he was named the recipient of
the prestigious Hall of Fame Award at the 10th Annual Texas
Speech-Language-Hearing Association Foundation Awards Dinner; and
WHEREAS, Now in his seventh term as a Plano ISD trustee, Dr.
Bird has benefited the district's bond and curriculum committees
and its Center for Slow Learners; in addition, his civic
involvement extends to the board of the South Collin County Infant
Program, CASA, the Plano Civic Choir, Vision 2000, and the Plano
Area DART Committee; and
WHEREAS, For a man who has dedicated so much of his life to
providing young people with a quality education, it is most
appropriate that the building bearing his name should house such
notable educational endeavors as the Special Programs Center,
offices and meeting facilities for Practical Parent Education, the
Family Resource Library, and the Even Start and Expectant Parent
Programs; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the Dr. Allan Bird
Education Center and commend Dr. Bird for his myriad contributions
to learning in the Lone Star State; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
