CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The observance of Legislators in Schools Day creates
an annual opportunity for lawmakers in the State of Texas to visit
and teach in a classroom in their respective districts; and
WHEREAS, When elected officials devote their time to visiting
local schools, students learn to appreciate the workings of our
representative democracy, and they gain a better understanding of
the legislative processes and the importance of effective public
policy; moreover, by engaging in meaningful conversations with
young constituents, legislators can get a fresh perspective on the
day-to-day realities of public schools in the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, Programs that promote a stronger and more
collaborative relationship between policy makers and their local
school districts greatly benefit our communities and the state as a
whole; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby designate the second Tuesday in October as Legislators in
Schools Day; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section
391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect
until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally
passed by the legislature.
