||
| 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 87th 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. | ||
