WHEREAS, Curtis Jenkins, a bus driver for Lake Highlands |
|
|
Elementary School, was promoted to a new position as a relationship |
|
|
specialist for the Richardson Independent School District in 2020; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Jenkins went above and beyond his |
|
|
responsibilities as the driver of Bus No. 1693, where he created a |
|
|
self-contained community in which students held jobs, earned "bus |
|
|
bucks," and learned lessons about respect, courtesy, and other |
|
|
values during their daily rides; his ability to foster a sense of |
|
|
community and inspire engagement among the students of Lake |
|
|
Highlands Elementary captured the attention of Richardson ISD |
|
|
officials, and in his new role with its Human Resources department, |
|
|
he oversees the district's focus on supporting the career |
|
|
development of hourly and paraprofessional staff members; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to encouraging kindness and compassion in |
|
|
young Texans, Mr. Jenkins has received recognition for his own acts |
|
|
of generosity; he made headlines around the country after |
|
|
purchasing Christmas gifts for students, and on several occasions, |
|
|
he has also bought Thanksgiving turkeys for families in need; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Curtis Jenkins has demonstrated commendable |
|
|
dedication to helping students develop as young men and women of |
|
|
good character, and Richardson ISD is fortunate to continue to |
|
|
benefit from his service; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Curtis Jenkins on his promotion to |
|
|
the position of relationship specialist for Richardson ISD and |
|
|
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Jenkins as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
