SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 172
|
|
|
WHEREAS, South Loop Elementary School in El Paso has been |
|
|
nominated for a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School award, one of |
|
|
the most prestigious accolades an elementary or secondary school |
|
|
in the United States can receive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was |
|
|
created by the U.S. Department of Education in 1982 to recognize |
|
|
campuses that have demonstrated superior academic performance or |
|
|
made notable progress in improving outcomes among economically |
|
|
disadvantaged students; South Loop Elementary is one of only 26 |
|
|
public schools in Texas to have earned a nomination for the 2021 |
|
|
award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of principal Norma |
|
|
Myers, South Loop Elementary was selected in the exemplary |
|
|
achievement-gap-closing school category as a result of student |
|
|
performance on the 2020 STAAR assessments; Ms. Myers continued |
|
|
as principal when the school consolidated with Capistrano |
|
|
Elementary before the 2020-2021 academic year as part of the |
|
|
district's strategic plan to right-size its facilities; South |
|
|
Loop Elementary joins two other campuses in the Ysleta |
|
|
Independent School District as a 2021 nominee; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, |
|
|
the teachers and students of South Loop Elementary have |
|
|
established a record of scholastic excellence, and their |
|
|
outstanding efforts have been duly recognized with the Blue |
|
|
Ribbon School award nomination; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate South Loop Elementary School on |
|
|
its nomination for a 2021 U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon |
|
|
School award and extend to its teachers, students, and staff sincere |
|
|
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
