H.R. No. 738
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Members of the Texas State Teachers Association and
  Texas AFT, along with other Texas educators, are convening in
  Austin on March 11, 2019, to take part in Texas Public Education Day
  at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Since 1880, the Texas State Teachers Association has
  been dedicated to furthering the best interests of teachers, school
  employees, and students; the group is an affiliate of the National
  Education Association, which is one of the largest professional
  employee organizations in the U.S.; and
         WHEREAS, Texas AFT was chartered in 1974 as the Texas
  Federation of Teachers, and it is the state branch of the American
  Federation of Teachers, which includes 1.6 million members
  nationwide; the organization represents public school educators,
  paraprofessionals, and other school-related employees, as well as
  faculty members and support staff of higher education institutions;
  and
         WHEREAS, The backbone of our public education system,
  teachers work tirelessly every day to help children develop the
  skills and learning habits essential to achieving a successful
  future; although their compensation does not reflect the importance
  of their profession, teachers routinely go above and beyond,
  working extra hours to fulfill their educational mission and
  frequently digging deeply into their own pockets to furnish their
  classrooms and provide supplies that students cannot afford; and
         WHEREAS, In carrying out their duties, educators benefit
  tremendously from the related efforts of bus drivers, cafeteria and
  clerical workers, and other support staff who play a critical role
  in maintaining a safe, healthy, and nurturing campus environment;
  today, Texas educators and their colleagues face greater challenges
  than ever before, as they prepare some 5.4 million students for jobs
  and adult responsibilities in a changing global economy; and
         WHEREAS, Public education is an endeavor in which all Texans
  have a stake, and through their steadfast devotion to the
  development of our young people, teachers and school support
  personnel are helping to ensure that the future of the Lone Star
  State rests in capable hands; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 11, 2019, as Texas Public
  Education Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of the
  Texas State Teachers Association and Texas AFT and their colleagues
  sincere best wishes for an informative visit to Austin.
