	H.R. No. 622



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors
	Association is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2017; and
	WHEREAS, I. N. Odom founded Elementary Principals in Waco on
	November 30, 1917, from among a group of 50 administrators that
	gathered at the annual Texas State Teachers Association convention;
	as these school leaders continued to meet together over the years,
	an independent organization, now known as the Texas Elementary
	Principals and Supervisors Association, was formed; and
	WHEREAS, Today, TEPSA represents about 6,000 Texas
	principals, assistant principals, and supervisors, and it is the
	only organization of its kind focused exclusively on administrators
	at the pre-K to eighth-grade level; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception, members of the organization
	have worked tirelessly to advocate in behalf of the Texas public
	education system; these efforts have played a crucial role in the
	adoption of a formal set of criteria by which to evaluate elementary
	schools, in raising the standard requirements for qualification to
	become a principal, and in ensuring that each elementary school
	campus is provided with a full-time principal; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout the past century, the Texas Elementary
	Principals and Supervisors Association has greatly contributed to
	the betterment of the Lone Star State through its dedication to
	education and to supporting the leaders of our state's youth, and it
	is indeed fitting to join in marking this significant milestone in
	the organization's rich history; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor the Texas Elementary Principals and
	Supervisors Association on the occasion of its 100th anniversary
	and extend to all those affiliated with the organization sincere
	best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
