Impact

The resolution serves primarily as a formal recognition rather than a legislative change, aiming to strengthen the relationship between schools and state governance. By focusing on student visits to the Capitol, HR2033 promotes awareness among young Texans regarding the workings of state legislature and government, fostering a sense of responsibility and civic duty. It emphasizes that such experiences are critical in shaping informed citizens who are knowledgeable about their government.

Summary

House Resolution 2033 (HR2033) welcomes students from Greenville Christian School to the State Capitol on May 14, 2009. The resolution recognizes the achievements of these students, highlighting their excellence in various extracurricular activities and their academic success as reflected in their inclusion on the A-B Honor Roll. By welcoming such groups, the resolution emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and the role of education in fostering informed citizens who understand governmental processes.

Contention

Since HR2033 is a resolution rather than a bill that alters existing laws or statutes, it does not face legislative contention typical of more substantive legislative proposals. The resolution is broadly supportive and aims to encourage educational institutions to engage more with state government activities. However, discussions around the value of such visits might raise questions about budget priorities and whether resources should be allocated towards school trips as opposed to direct educational support.
