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.
