H.R. No. 1391
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Curtis Jenkins, a bus driver for Lake Highlands
Elementary School, was promoted to a new position as a relationship
specialist for the Richardson Independent School District in 2020;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. Jenkins went above and beyond his
responsibilities as the driver of Bus No. 1693, where he created a
self-contained community in which students held jobs, earned "bus
bucks," and learned lessons about respect, courtesy, and other
values during their daily rides; his ability to foster a sense of
community and inspire engagement among the students of Lake
Highlands Elementary captured the attention of Richardson ISD
officials, and in his new role with its Human Resources department,
he oversees the district's focus on supporting the career
development of hourly and paraprofessional staff members; and
WHEREAS, Committed to encouraging kindness and compassion in
young Texans, Mr. Jenkins has received recognition for his own acts
of generosity; he made headlines around the country after
purchasing Christmas gifts for students, and on several occasions,
he has also bought Thanksgiving turkeys for families in need; and
WHEREAS, Curtis Jenkins has demonstrated commendable
dedication to helping students develop as young men and women of
good character, and Richardson ISD is fortunate to continue to
benefit from his service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Curtis Jenkins on his promotion to
the position of relationship specialist for Richardson ISD and
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Jenkins as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
