H.R. No. 322

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Richard Sutterfield retired from the Arlington
Independent School District in January 2019, drawing to a close
more than three and a half decades of outstanding service; and
WHEREAS, A 1974 graduate of Mansfield High School,
Mr. Sutterfield received a bachelor's degree in health and physical
education from The University of Texas at Arlington in 1981; the
following year, he joined Arlington ISD as a member of the faculty
at Bailey Junior High, where he coached football and track and
taught math, science, and eventually computer literacy; he then
went on to teach computer literacy at Boles Junior High School for
six years; active in the campus community at both schools, he
established computer clubs at Bailey and Boles; and
WHEREAS, After earning a master's degree in educational
leadership and administration from the University of North Texas,
Mr. Sutterfield left Boles to become an instructional specialist
for Arlington ISD, responsible for educating the district's faculty
on ways to integrate technology into the classroom; in 2000, he
accepted a position as manager of the district's help desk, and his
expertise in computer science allowed him to create a help ticket
and asset tracking system that the district used for two decades;
and
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Sutterfield has enjoyed
the love and support of his wife, Martha, with whom he has shared 35
years, and he takes great pride in his four children, Danielle,
Adam, Lukas, and Abby, and his eight grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Richard Sutterfield's dedication, professionalism,
and commitment to excellence have greatly benefited the citizens of
Arlington, and he may indeed reflect with pride on a career well
spent; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Richard Sutterfield on his
retirement from the Arlington Independent School District and
extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Sutterfield as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
