SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 496
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the founders of the Fast Growth School Coalition and to
welcome school district superintendents and coalition members
from around the state as they come together to celebrate Fast
Growth School Day at the Texas Capitol on March 27, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Fast Growth School Coalition was established
in 1996 as a grassroots organization of school districts; its
purpose is to seek legislative solutions to the financial and
structural demands created by the rapidly growing populations of
the member districts; and
WHEREAS, There are approximately 100 districts that meet
the qualifications to become a member of the organization; these
districts account for more than 83 percent of the state's
enrollment increase over the past five years; and
WHEREAS, With the input of its member superintendents, the
coalition is dedicated to establishing a shared agenda and
providing a voice for that agenda; the coalition works hard to
continue providing a quality education for all of the state's
students, and its goals and accomplishments are indeed worthy of
recognition and praise; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Fast Growth School
Coalition and extend best wishes for a successful and productive
Fast Growth School Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the coalition and its founders as an expression of high regard
from the Texas Senate.
