  H.R. No. 322
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
  honor the Dallas Association for Bilingual Education (DABE) on its
  outstanding record of service to the people of this state in
  enhancing the quality of education provided for the children of the
  community and ensuring the equality of educational opportunity
  available to all segments of the community's diverse population;
  and
         WHEREAS, Recognizing the special educational needs of
  schoolchildren with limited English-speaking ability and committed
  to addressing those needs, concerned members of the Dallas
  education community founded this organization to promote
  bilingual, multicultural programs of instruction in the Dallas
  Independent School District and other school districts in the North
  Texas Metroplex area; and
         WHEREAS, Underlying the programs and methods advocated by the
  association is the fundamental premise that equality of educational
  opportunity can be achieved through bilingual education without
  sacrificing the equally important goal of academic excellence; and
         WHEREAS, By promoting bilingual education and multicultural
  programs for every student, the association hopes not only to
  provide a quality education for students with limited English
  proficiency but also to instill in all schoolchildren an
  appreciation of the contributions made by every group in an
  ethnically and culturally diverse society; and
         WHEREAS, Since 1986, DABE has been affiliated with the Texas
  Association for Bilingual Education and has been active in
  statewide efforts to address relevant issues at the state and
  national level as well as at the local level; since joining forces
  with the state organization, the Dallas association has greatly
  expanded its reach, increasing its ability to serve as an
  educational resource, to provide training for teachers operating in
  a bilingual classroom environment, and to take a multifaceted,
  comprehensive approach in furthering its objectives; and
         WHEREAS, Appreciative of its valuable service to the state
  over the years, this legislative body wishes to take advantage of
  the 2010 installation of DABE officers to bestow on the association
  the praise and recognition it so richly deserves; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the Dallas Association for Bilingual
  Education in 2010 on its outstanding record of service to the
  community and its noteworthy dedication to its goal of improving
  the quality of education provided to all the people of this state;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the association as an expression of high esteem by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
