	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 21
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the Katy Independent School District, which has been
	named to the College Board's 9th Annual AP District Honor Roll; and
	WHEREAS, The AP District Honor Roll is awarded to school
	districts that demonstrate increased access to Advanced
	Placement programs and increased participation in those
	programs; additional criteria include percentage of minority
	students participating in the programs and improvement in
	performance levels; the Katy Independent School District is one
	of only 373 districts in the United States and Canada to receive
	this prestigious designation; and
	WHEREAS, Advanced Placement is one of the most effective
	strategies used by the state to keep college tuition affordable;
	students who receive college credit for their Advanced Placement
	courses save their families thousands of dollars each year; in
	2017 alone, Texas high school students saved $266 million in
	tuition fees as a result of their AP exams; and
	WHEREAS, Advanced Placement programs have played a vital
	role in expanding educational opportunities and in helping
	students to graduate from college in four years; the Katy
	Independent School District is truly deserving of special
	recognition for creating one of the best programs of its kind in
	the country; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend the Katy Independent School District
	on its commitment to excellence in education and extend
	congratulations to the district on being named to the College
	Board's 9th Annual AP District Honor Roll; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the district as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

	Huffman, Kolkhorst
