WHEREAS, Many dedicated members of the El Paso Independent
School District Council of PTAs are visiting Austin on February 27,
2017, to participate in Texas PTA Rally Day at the State Capitol;
and
WHEREAS, A nonprofit, all-volunteer organization, the El
Paso ISD Council of PTAs represents over 4,500 members of 35 PTAs
operating in EPISD schools; the group meets monthly to provide
support and administration to its local chapters in furtherance of
its mission of engaging and empowering families and communities to
advocate for all children; and
WHEREAS, Extensive research has firmly established that
greater parental engagement leads to better student outcomes;
through their involvement in the PTA, mothers and fathers can make a
positive impact on schools and ensure that the learning environment
allows each child to fulfill his or her highest potential; and
WHEREAS, Rally Day allows PTA members from across the state
to unite their efforts to improve public education for all young
Texans, and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to honor
the El Paso Independent School District Council of PTAs for its
outstanding contributions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the El Paso Independent School District
Council of PTAs on the occasion of the 2017 Texas PTA Rally Day at
the State Capitol and extend to the members of the group sincere
