The mission of the public education system of this state is to ensure that all Texas children have access to a quality education that enables them to achieve their potential
and fully participate now and in the future in the social, economic, and educational opportunities of our state and nation. That mission is grounded on the conviction that a
general diffusion of knowledge is essential for the welfare of this state and for the preservation of the liberties and rights of citizens. It is further grounded on the conviction
that a successful public education system is directly related to a strong, dedicated, and supportive family and that parental involvement in the school is essential for the
maximum educational achievement of a child. (TEC Title 2, Ch 4, Sec.4.001)

educational growth. I want to be one of those resources and support that the children and,you, the
