Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hardworking school board members in my district in recognition of School Board Member Appreciation Month. I am incredibly grateful for the extremely devoted school board members across Aldine ISD, Galena Park ISD, Channelview ISD, Sheldon ISD, Pasadena ISD, and Humble ISD. These folks were elected by their communities to do some of the most important work a public servant can do. They are fostering the next generation of leaders by ensuring that our public schools are places where students can learn, explore, dream, and thrive. I know that keeping our schools running smoothly comes with plenty of late nights and a lot of behind-the-scenes work. I know this firsthand because many of my family members have served or are serving on school boards. Thanks to their work, our public schools continue to be the foundation of the great American Dream. We must support our public schools. I thank them for their service, and we wish them Godspeed this year. ____________________
