R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Justin Henry was reelected as the District 9
representative on the Dallas Independent School District board of

the exemplary leadership he has demonstrated over the course of his
tenure; and
WHEREAS, Since first taking office in 2018, Mr. Henry has

has greatly benefited the community through his previous roles as

Advisory Committee for the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which
provides scholarships and leadership development opportunities to
students of color with limited financial resources; and
WHEREAS, The essential mission of educating young Texans
depends on the able and dedicated efforts of our school board
trustees, and Justin Henry may indeed take pride in his outstanding
record of achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Justin Henry on his reelection to
the Dallas Independent School District board of trustees and extend
to him sincere best wishes for another successful term in office;
and, be it further
