H.R. No. 976
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Edinburg Consolidated Independent School
District furthered its reputation for academic excellence in 2016,
as 16 of its elementary schools earned all the Texas Education
Agency distinction designations for which they were eligible; and
WHEREAS, Every year, schools that receive the highest
accountability rating from TEA are eligible for distinction
designations, which the agency awards based on outstanding
performance relative to a group of 40 campuses of similar type,
size, and student demographics; and
WHEREAS, With 16 schools sweeping distinction designations,
Edinburg CISD garnered the most honors of any district in South
Texas; those ECISD campuses so recognized are Austin, Avila,
Canterbury, De La Vina, De Escandon, Flores-Zapata, Gorena, Guerra,
Jefferson, Lincoln, Magee, Ramirez, San Carlos, Trevino, Truman,
and Villarreal Elementary Schools; and
WHEREAS, This noteworthy feat is a testament to the hard work
and commitment to excellence demonstrated by the administrators,
faculty, staff, and students of Edinburg CISD, and they all may
indeed take great pride in this achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Edinburg Consolidated
Independent School District on having 16 elementary schools earn
their full complement of distinction designations from the Texas
Education Agency; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
