| H.R. No. 2146 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Under the expert guidance of Superintendent Lance | ||
| Campbell, the Lone Oak Independent School District has received | ||
| several prestigious honors; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since taking the helm of the district in the summer | ||
| of 2013, Lance Campbell has led the Lone Oak ISD to great | ||
| distinction; in 2014, it became one of 46 school districts to be | ||
| named a Texas Honors Circle district by the comptroller's office | ||
| for demonstrating responsible stewardship of taxpayer money; this | ||
| accolade is awarded to districts that achieve a five-star rating, | ||
| indicating that they rank in the top 20 percent of all districts | ||
| with regard to student academic growth and that they rank in the | ||
| lowest 20 percent in terms of core operating expenditures per | ||
| student; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lone Oak ISD has been further recognized by | ||
| Children at Risk, which honored the district in 2014 for meeting the | ||
| needs of at-risk students; the group ranked Lone Oak 7th among North | ||
| Texas school districts and 23rd among all districts in the state; | ||
| Children at Risk uses graduation rates, advanced coursework, | ||
| college-readiness testing, and TAKS commendations to determine the | ||
| performance of schools across Texas; the district was also number | ||
| 10 on NerdWallet's 2015 list of the best-value school districts in | ||
| the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a survey that compares average housing | ||
| costs with school quality; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Prior to assuming the superintendency of the Lone | ||
| Oak ISD, Mr. Campbell served as a principal in the Sam Rayburn and | ||
| Whitewright ISDs and as the superintendent of Cumby ISD; he holds a | ||
| bachelor of science degree in history and physical education from | ||
| Texas A&M University--Commerce and a master of education degree | ||
| from Tarleton State University; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Children are the Lone Star State's most precious | ||
| resource, and Superintendent Lance Campbell and all those | ||
| associated with the Lone Oak Independent School District are indeed | ||
| deserving of recognition for their efforts to provide an | ||
| exceptional education to area youth; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Lone Oak Independent School | ||
| District on its recent honors and commend Superintendent Lance | ||
| Campbell for his exceptional leadership of the district; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Campbell as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
