WHEREAS, The Driscoll Independent School District is
fortunate to benefit from the leadership of superintendent
Dr. Cynthia M. Garcia and the district's board of trustees, whose
efforts to enhance the quality of education for area schoolchildren
are indeed worthy of recognition; and
WHEREAS, Working alongside administrators, classroom
teachers, and parents, the superintendent and board of trustees
uphold the district's mission to empower students with the

and ensuring the orderly operation of school facilities, with the
goal of fostering an optimal learning environment for all students
in the district; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Garcia and the trustees of Driscoll ISD preside
over a district that has earned repeated "Exemplary" ratings from

students in prekindergarten through eighth grade, and at all grade
levels teachers strive to encourage a culture of college-readiness
and enthusiasm toward planning for the future; and
WHEREAS, A veteran educator with more than two decades of
experience, Dr. Cynthia Garcia began her tenure with the district
as an intermediate teacher in 1994; she took her current position as
superintendent of schools in 2006, and among her accomplishments in
this role was the recent passage of a bond proposal to finance a new
campus; and
WHEREAS, The Driscoll ISD school board is led by president
Veronica Ramon, vice president Johanna Schubert, and secretary
Cindy Lopez; members also include Gloria Olivarez, Lala Zuniga,
Vanessa Garcia-Silguero, and Anna Segura; and
WHEREAS, Each of these dedicated professionals brings a
wealth of insight and experience to her post, and they may take
well-deserved pride in their achievements and in the appreciation
that they have earned from members of the Driscoll community; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Dr. Cynthia M. Garcia and the members of
the Driscoll ISD Board of Trustees for their outstanding work and
extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Dr. Garcia and the board as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
