WHEREAS, The Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District | ||

National Association of Music Merchants Foundation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year, NAMM confers this designation on | ||
districts and schools that demonstrate outstanding achievement in | ||
efforts to provide music access and education to all students; | ||
CFISD also earned this accolade in 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, To qualify for the recognition, school districts | ||
provided detailed information about funding, graduation | ||
requirements, music class participation, instruction time, | ||
facilities, support for the music program, and community | ||
music-making programs; responses were verified with school | ||
officials and reviewed by the Music Research Institute at the | ||
University of Kansas; and | ||
WHEREAS, More than 70,000 students participate in CFISD music | ||
programs; the district offers secondary classroom instruction for | ||
band, choir, orchestra, and music theory, as well as opportunities | ||
for students at every grade level to participate in music-making; | ||
school ensembles perform at community functions, as well as on | ||
their campuses and at district-wide events; area residents have | ||
demonstrated their support by passing bonds, including funds for | ||
such amenities as acoustical shell systems now in use at the | ||
district's 12 comprehensive high schools and a new center for | ||
visual and performing arts; and | ||
WHEREAS, Vibrant music programs contribute significantly to | ||
the intellectual, personal, and social development of youngsters, | ||
and the quality of the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD offerings are a source | ||
of tremendous pride to local citizens; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent | ||

Education Award from the National Association of Music Merchants | ||
