|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Dr. Faye Beaulieu of Bedford is retiring from the | ||
| Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District board of trustees | ||
| in 2021, following an exemplary tenure that has spanned 26 years; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, This accomplished public servant initially became | ||
| involved in local education issues as a PTA volunteer while her four | ||
| children attended elementary school; she was first elected as a | ||
| trustee in 1995, and her dedicated service has included six years as | ||
| president of the school board; as the district's enrollment has | ||
| grown to more than 23,000 pupils, she has worked effectively with | ||
| other board members to expand opportunities for a student body that | ||
| is one of the state's most diverse; among the specialized programs | ||
| she has supported are full-day kindergarten and Core Knowledge | ||
| Pre-K offerings for younger children, theater and cybersecurity | ||
| courses for junior high students, and International Baccalaureate | ||
| studies at both 6A high schools; Dr. Beaulieu has also urged the | ||
| adoption of arts and foreign language education initiatives, such | ||
| as Suzuki Strings & Secondary Orchestra, Spanish Immersion, and | ||
| instruction in Hindi and Arabic; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dr. Beaulieu and the other members of the H-E-B | ||
| school board have practiced sound fiscal management in the | ||
| construction of new facilities, such as the Pat May Center and the | ||
| Gene A. Buinger Career & Technical Education Academy; in 2016, the | ||
| district received the Magna Award Grand Prize from the National | ||
| School Boards Association for its innovative Ambassador Academy, | ||
| which offers residents an in-depth look at district operations; | ||
| another recent honor was the 2020 Outstanding School Board Award | ||
| from the Texas Association of School Administrators; through the | ||
| years, Dr. Beaulieu's visionary leadership has been widely | ||
| appreciated by her peers, and she served as president of the Texas | ||
| Association of School Boards from 2013 to 2014; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Deeply engaged in her community, Dr. Beaulieu | ||
| worked as a volunteer with United Way of Tarrant County before | ||
| joining the organization's staff and now holds the position of | ||
| senior vice president of community investment; moreover, she has | ||
| served on numerous boards and committees in the local area, and her | ||
| efforts have been honored with the Northeast Leadership Forum | ||
| Distinguished Leadership Award, the HEB Chamber of Commerce | ||
| Community Service and Clyde Mooney Awards, and the Girl Scouts | ||
| Connector Award; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Faye Beaulieu has demonstrated an exceptional | ||
| commitment to public education, earning the respect of her | ||
| colleagues and fellow citizens, and she may indeed reflect with | ||
| pride on her long record of service; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor Dr. Faye Beaulieu on the occasion of her | ||
| retirement as a trustee of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent | ||
| School District and extend to her sincere best wishes for the | ||
| future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Dr. Beaulieu as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
