WHEREAS, The trustee for Place 5, Ms. Beaulieu was first | ||
elected to the board in 1995, and over the course of her exemplary | ||
26-year tenure, she has worked closely with the other members to | ||
allocate resources, set policy, and ensure a process of | ||

the district has been rated as one of the best communities for | ||
music education in the nation for 14 years in a row, and the | ||

Texas for academic performance and financial efficiency for 12 of | ||
the last 13 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Thanks in part to the efforts of Ms. Beaulieu and | ||
her fellow trustees, the district offers its students programs in | ||
theater and computer science, as well as in such STEM subjects as | ||
engineering, robotics, cybersecurity, and network technology; | ||
several campuses offer a Spanish language immersion program, | ||
while others provide instruction in Arabic, Mandarin, and Hindi; | ||
students at select elementary campuses are given the opportunity | ||
to take part in the Suzuki Strings music program as well; and | ||
WHEREAS, A resident of Bedford, Ms. Beaulieu earned her | ||
bachelor's and master's degrees in English from the Mississippi | ||
University for Women and her doctorate in English from the | ||
University of Mississippi; she was an educator early in her | ||
career, and for the past 16 years, she has served as the senior | ||
vice president for community investment at United Way of Tarrant | ||
County; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Ms. Beaulieu enjoys the | ||
love and support of her husband, Walter, as well as that of her | ||
children, Aimee, Carla, Steven, and Caryn, and her four | ||
grandchildren; and | ||
WHEREAS, Faye Beaulieu's dedication, hard work, and | ||
commitment to excellence have greatly benefited the students of | ||
HEB ISD and earned her the respect and admiration of her fellow | ||
trustees, and she may indeed reflect with pride on her many | ||
contributions to the district; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Faye Beaulieu for her service on the | ||
Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District Board of | ||
Trustees and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; | ||
