SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 312
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Proud representatives from the Frisco Independent |
|
|
School District are gathering in Austin on March 5, 2019, in |
|
|
celebration of Frisco ISD Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, One of the fastest-growing school districts in |
|
|
the country, Frisco Independent School District serves more than |
|
|
60,000 students in 42 elementary schools, 17 middle schools, 10 |
|
|
high schools, and 3 special programs centers; each year, |
|
|
thousands of families choose to call Frisco home due to the |
|
|
district's outstanding reputation for academic excellence, |
|
|
innovative courses, and wealth of extracurricular opportunities |
|
|
and experiences; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Despite the explosive growth the district has |
|
|
experienced over the past three decades, it remains committed to |
|
|
its mission to know every student by name and need, providing |
|
|
small, personalized learning environments and a student-to-teacher |
|
|
ratio lower than the national average; more than 7,000 faculty |
|
|
and staff members work tirelessly each day to prepare the |
|
|
district's students for the challenges and opportunities that |
|
|
lie ahead; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today the district's four-year graduation rate is |
|
|
an impressive 98.6 percent, and it has won a host of accolades, |
|
|
including the Texas Honors Circle Award, the College Board AP |
|
|
District Honor Roll, and the Platinum Leadership Circle Award |
|
|
from the Texas Comptroller's Office; furthermore, the district |
|
|
has contributed significantly to the exceptional quality of life |
|
|
in Frisco, which was named the Best Place to Live in America by |
|
|
Money magazine in 2018; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to effectively serving the needs of |
|
|
students, the outstanding teachers, administrators, and staff of |
|
|
Frisco Independent School District are helping area youth |
|
|
succeed academically and reach their full potential, and it is |
|
|
truly fitting to recognize the immense impact these public |
|
|
servants are making on their community and the State of Texas; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize March 5, 2019, as Frisco |
|
|
Independent School District Day at the State Capitol and extend |
