WHEREAS, Many dedicated members of the El Paso Independent |
|
|
School District Council of PTAs are visiting Austin on February 27, |
|
|
2017, to participate in Texas PTA Rally Day at the State Capitol; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A nonprofit, all-volunteer organization, the El |
|
|
Paso ISD Council of PTAs represents over 4,500 members of 35 PTAs |
|
|
operating in EPISD schools; the group meets monthly to provide |

|
support and administration to its local chapters in furtherance of |
|
|
its mission of engaging and empowering families and communities to |
|
|
advocate for all children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Extensive research has firmly established that |
|
|
greater parental engagement leads to better student outcomes; |
|
|
through their involvement in the PTA, mothers and fathers can make a |

positive impact on schools and ensure that the learning environment |
|
|
allows each child to fulfill his or her highest potential; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Rally Day allows PTA members from across the state |
|
|
to unite their efforts to improve public education for all young |
|
|
Texans, and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to honor |
|
|
the El Paso Independent School District Council of PTAs for its |
|
|
outstanding contributions; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the El Paso Independent School District |
|
|
Council of PTAs on the occasion of the 2017 Texas PTA Rally Day at |
|
|
the State Capitol and extend to the members of the group sincere |
|
|
best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the council as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
