recognize Jody F. Brandon, who is retiring after three decades of | ||
outstanding service with the Dallas Independent School District; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Jody Brandon joined the Dallas Independent School | ||
District in 1983 as a speech and language pathologist; she went | ||
on to serve as an assistant principal at several campuses before | ||
becoming principal of L. O. Donald Elementary School in 2008; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of her career, she has been an | ||
innovative and resourceful educator; while serving as a speech | ||
pathologist, she introduced such initiatives as a professional | ||
training program through which educators could learn to utilize | ||
picture communication systems with autistic students; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under her superior leadership, L. O. Donald | ||
Elementary School earned Recognized status from the Texas | ||
Education Agency and was named a Gold School Honoree by the | ||
United States Department of Agriculture; she helped the school to | ||
secure a wide range of supplemental educational programs, and she | ||
played an important role in making the school a vital part of the | ||
community by providing volunteer opportunities for parents and | ||
offering classes in English as a second language; and | ||
WHEREAS, An exemplary educator and administrator, she is | ||
respected and admired by her colleagues and by the countless | ||
students whose lives she has touched, and her presence with the | ||
Dallas Independent School District will be greatly missed; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Jody F. | ||
Brandon on her exceptional service with the Dallas Independent | ||
