superintendent, she oversaw three successful bond programs that | ||
included the addition of several new campuses as well as | ||

and she guided a team to develop a 10-year growth plan for the | ||
district; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under Dr. Wright's able leadership, Argyle ISD | ||
received a number of honors, including an A accountability rating | ||

UNT; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout her tenure with Argyle ISD, Dr. Telena | ||
Wright demonstrated the passion, determination, and innovative | ||
spirit that are the hallmarks of our best educators, and the naming | ||
of the district administration building in her honor is a fitting | ||
tribute to her many contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
