SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1031
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Deborah K. Badrak, who is retiring after 29 years of
	exceptional service as an educator; and
	WHEREAS, This gifted teacher began her career in education
	while still a student at John Jay High School in San Antonio,
	enrolling in a teacher training program and working with
	special-needs students; she went on to earn a degree in education
	from Southwest Texas State University in 1981 and soon afterward
	started as a teacher at F. C. Weinert Elementary School in
	Seguin; and
	WHEREAS, She has for more than 20 years worked for the
	Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District,
	where her duties have run the gamut from teaching children with
	multiple disabilities to serving as the coordinator for gifted
	and talented students; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Badrak is cofounder of the Flying Colors
	Achievement Center, a nonprofit organization providing
	assistance and mentorship to at-risk students, and she has won
	numerous awards, including Teacher of the Year at three separate
	schools; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Badrak's students have greatly benefited
	from her skillful teaching methods, her wise counsel and
	encouragement, and her sincere concern for each individual; she
	has often supplied clothing, food, and resources for students and
	families in need so that her students could achieve their full
	potential; and
	WHEREAS, Dedicated and imaginative, she has worked to
	instill in her students an appreciation for challenge and hard
	work and a lifelong love of learning; she is truly deserving of
	recognition for her commitment and for the positive influence she
	has had on her students; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby commend Deborah K. Badrak for her 29 years of
	dedication to excellence in education and extend to her best
	wishes for continued success in all her future endeavors; and, be
	it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
	Van de Putte, Zaffirini
