CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The observance of Legislators in Schools Day creates |
|
|
an annual opportunity for lawmakers in the State of Texas to visit |
|
|
and teach in a classroom in their respective districts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, When elected officials devote their time to visiting |
|
|
local schools, students learn to appreciate the workings of our |
|
|
representative democracy, and they gain a better understanding of |
|
|
the legislative processes and the importance of effective public |
|
|
policy; moreover, by engaging in meaningful conversations with |
|
|
young constituents, legislators can get a fresh perspective on the |
|
|
day-to-day realities of public schools in the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Programs that promote a stronger and more |
|
|
collaborative relationship between policy makers and their local |
|
|
school districts greatly benefit our communities and the state as a |
|
|
whole; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby designate the second Tuesday in October as Legislators in |
|
|
Schools Day; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section |
|
|
391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect |
|
|
until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally |
|
|
passed by the legislature. |
