	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 656
	WHEREAS, The Presidio Independent School District has been
	selected to participate in the Texas Education Agency's
	2019-2021 Grow Your Own Grant Program, Cycle 2; and

	WHEREAS, Designed to increase the number and diversity of
	classroom teachers in small and rural school districts, grant
	funds can be used to encourage high school students to consider
	pursuing careers in education and to encourage
	paraprofessionals, teacher aides, and long-term substitutes to
	complete their teaching certifications; and

	WHEREAS, With the help provided by the program, Presidio
	ISD will be able to create a pipeline for 20 of its staff to earn
	their teaching certifications and to recruit more Hispanic and
	bilingual teachers to match the demographics of its student
	population; and

	WHEREAS, This award from the Texas Education Agency is
	indeed a fitting investment in Presidio ISD's efforts to maintain
	a high standard of education at its schools, and it will help
	ensure that the district has a teaching staff that is even better
	equipped to meet the needs of area students in the years to come;
	now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby congratulate Presidio Independent School
	District on its selection for the Texas Education Agency's
	2019-2021 Grow Your Own Grant Program, Cycle 2, and extend to the
	district sincere best wishes for success in achieving its goals;
	and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
	prepared for Presidio Independent School District as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas Senate.

	Rodríguez
