The Socorro Independent School District Board of Trustees on Oct. 28 approved three proclamations recognizing Principals Month, Generation Texas Month and National Red Ribbon Week.

The board voted to adopt each proclamation after district administrators and students read the proclamations aloud. Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Trejo and Assistant Superintendent Carlos Guerra presented the Principals Month proclamation, Monica Dominguez, interim director of school counseling, introduced Generation Texas Month and two students read the Generation Texas text, and Dominguez also introduced the Red Ribbon Week proclamation. Board members put the items to motion and the board approved all three items.

The Principals Month proclamation, read in part by Carlos Guerra, praised school principals as leaders who “cast a vision for their school and work tirelessly to realize it,” and asked the community to recognize the contributions of campus leaders. Jennifer Trejo introduced the request for approval.

Generation Texas Month was presented by Monica Dominguez and read in part by Maite Flores, a sophomore at Eastlake Falcon Early College High School. The proclamation cited Texas Education Code chapter 29.911 as requiring that middle and high schools provide students information about higher-education options and affirmed the district’s guidance program mission to support postsecondary planning.

The Red Ribbon Week proclamation, introduced by Monica Dominguez and read by two middle-school students, cited the campaign’s goal of promoting drug-prevention education and honoring DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. The item noted district activities planned for campuses and encouraged participation communitywide.

Motions and votes: each proclamation was moved and seconded and approved by the board. For Principals Month the transcript records a motion followed by “I have a motion by Ms. Garlia. Second by Mr. Smith. All those in favor: Aye. Motion passes.” For Generation Texas Month the transcript records a motion and approval; for Red Ribbon Week the transcript records “Motion by Ms. Macias, second by Ms. Garcia. All those in favor? Aye. Motion passes.” The board did not record roll-call vote tallies by name in the transcript for these items.

The proclamations will be posted with the board minutes and the district said full recordings and materials will be available on the district’s website and its YouTube channel.
