Honorable Jim Solis, Chair of the Economic Development Committee of the Texas House of Representatives and State Representative for District 38, states:

“I support systems such as Tech Prep, which is already having success in the Rio Grande Valley. Students who are able to graduate from high school, and for those who do not immediately enter college, they graduate with skills they can use to get a competitive paying job. We must continue the goal of increasing the number of high school students who enroll in and graduate from college.”
