	their contributions by the Texas Association of Partners in
	Education (TAPE) during its 2007 annual conference; and
	WHEREAS, Established as Adopt-a-School more than two decades
	ago, the Lubbock program currently includes more than 400 community
	partners whose contributions to the Lubbock ISD during the past
	school year, in terms of volunteer hours and other assistance, were
	worth over $650,000; and
	WHEREAS, Each year, teachers, administrators, parents, and
	district coordinators nominate partners for statewide recognition,
	with nominees being evaluated with regard to the impact of their
	involvement on student progress; more than 100 partners across the
	state were nominated in eight categories for the 2007 awards; and

	WHEREAS, The Lubbock ISD Partners in Education staff,

	managing the Lubbock Partners in Education program; and
	WHEREAS, In consequence of the exceptional generosity and
	engagement of all these individuals, groups, and businesses,
	students in Lubbock are benefiting from a host of programs that will
	help them to build productive and fulfilling lives through the
	development of their own unique potential; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby pay tribute to the Partners in Education program of the
	Lubbock Independent School District and to all the Lubbock-area
