WHEREAS, Proud representatives of the Dallas Independent |
|
|
School District are gathering in Austin on February 26, 2025, to |
|
|
take part in Dallas ISD Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Serving a diverse population of approximately |
|
|
140,000 students at 240 campuses, Dallas ISD is the second-largest |
|
|
school district in Texas; the district is committed to its mission |
|
|
of "Educating all students for success," and its nearly 23,000 |
|
|
faculty and staff members work tirelessly to foster a supportive |
|
|
and challenging educational environment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In recent years, Dallas ISD has been recognized for |
|
|
the significant improvements it has made in academic performance, |
|
|
and its high schools currently rank among the top 10 percent of |
|
|
Texas high schools; the number of Dallas ISD students taking and |
|
|
scoring 3 or higher on Advanced Placement exams has increased |
|
|
during each of the last six years, and the district's graduation |
|
|
rate has consistently improved; in addition, its continuing efforts |
|
|
to promote college and career readiness resulted in district |
|
|
schools surpassing area charter schools on last year's STAAR test; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Recognizing the demand for expanded educational |
|
|
opportunities, Dallas ISD has significantly increased access to |
|
|
pre-kindergarten classes and launched 150 two-way dual language |
|
|
programs and 25 P-TECHS and collegiate academies; since 2015, |
|
|
Dallas ISD has also invested over $2 billion in renovations, |
|
|
additions, and other improvements to its campuses, efforts that |
|
|
reflect the district's dedication to providing students with |
|
|
modern, state-of-the-art learning spaces where they are equipped |
|
|
with the knowledge and skills to succeed in today's |
|
|
technology-driven global society; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The faculty, staff, administration, and students of |
|
|
Dallas ISD are building on a proud legacy of educational excellence |
|
|
and innovation, and it is fitting to acknowledge the meaningful |
|
|
contributions the district has made to the future of its community |
|
|
and the state at large; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2025, as Dallas |
|
|
Independent School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to |
|
|
the visiting delegation sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and |
|
|
productive event. |
