SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 312
WHEREAS, Proud representatives from the Frisco Independent
School District are gathering in Austin on March 5, 2019, in
celebration of Frisco ISD Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, One of the fastest-growing school districts in
the country, Frisco Independent School District serves more than
60,000 students in 42 elementary schools, 17 middle schools, 10
high schools, and 3 special programs centers; each year,
thousands of families choose to call Frisco home due to the
district's outstanding reputation for academic excellence,
innovative courses, and wealth of extracurricular opportunities
and experiences; and
WHEREAS, Despite the explosive growth the district has
experienced over the past three decades, it remains committed to
its mission to know every student by name and need, providing
small, personalized learning environments and a student-to-teacher
ratio lower than the national average; more than 7,000 faculty
and staff members work tirelessly each day to prepare the
district's students for the challenges and opportunities that
lie ahead; and
WHEREAS, Today the district's four-year graduation rate is
an impressive 98.6 percent, and it has won a host of accolades,
including the Texas Honors Circle Award, the College Board AP
District Honor Roll, and the Platinum Leadership Circle Award
from the Texas Comptroller's Office; furthermore, the district
has contributed significantly to the exceptional quality of life
in Frisco, which was named the Best Place to Live in America by
Money magazine in 2018; and
WHEREAS, Committed to effectively serving the needs of
students, the outstanding teachers, administrators, and staff of
Frisco Independent School District are helping area youth
succeed academically and reach their full potential, and it is
truly fitting to recognize the immense impact these public
servants are making on their community and the State of Texas;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby recognize March 5, 2019, as Frisco
Independent School District Day at the State Capitol and extend
to the visiting delegation sincere best wishes for a rewarding
and memorable event.
Paxton, Nelson
