| Award from the Texas Comptroller's Office; furthermore, the | ||
| district has contributed significantly to the exceptional quality | ||
| of life in Frisco, which was named the Best Place to Live in America | ||
| by Money magazine in 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Committed to effectively serving the needs of | ||
| students, the outstanding teachers, administrators, and staff of | ||
| Frisco ISD are helping area youth succeed academically and reach | ||
| their full potential, and it is truly fitting to recognize the | ||
| immense impact these public servants are making on their community | ||
| and the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2019, as Frisco Independent | ||
| School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting | ||
