WHEREAS, The Presidio Independent School District has been |
|
|
selected to participate in the Texas Education Agency's 2019-2021 |
|
|
Grow Your Own Grant Program, Cycle 2; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Designed to increase the number and diversity of |
|
|
classroom teachers in small and rural school districts, grant funds |
|
|
can be used to encourage high school students to consider pursuing |
|
|
careers in education and to encourage paraprofessionals, teacher |
|
|
aides, and long-term substitutes to complete their teaching |
|
|
certifications; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With the help provided by the program, Presidio ISD |
|
|
will be able to create a pipeline for 20 of its staff to earn their |
|
|
teaching certifications and to recruit more Hispanic and bilingual |
|
|
teachers to match the demographics of its student population; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This award from the Texas Education Agency is indeed |
|
|
a fitting investment in Presidio ISD's efforts to maintain a high |
|
|
standard of education at its schools, and it will help ensure that |
|
|
the district has a teaching staff that is even better equipped to |
|
|
meet the needs of area students in the years to come; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Presidio ISD on its selection for |
|
|
the Texas Education Agency's 2019-2021 Grow Your Own Grant Program, |
|
|
Cycle 2, and extend to the district sincere best wishes for success |
|
|
in achieving its goals; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Presidio ISD as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
