May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island).
Like most commemorative months, Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month originated with Congress. In 1977 Reps. Frank Horton of New York introduced House Joint Resolution 540 to proclaim the first ten days in May as Pacific/Asian American Heritage Week. In the same year, Senator Daniel Inouye introduced a similar resolution, Senate Joint Resolution 72. Neither of these resolutions passed, so in June 1978, Rep. Horton introduced House Joint Resolution 1007. This resolution proposed that the President should “proclaim a week, which is to include the seventh and tenth of the month, during the first ten days in May of 1979 as ‘Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week.’” This joint resolution was passed by the House and then the Senate and was signed by President Jimmy Carter on October 5, 1978 to become Public Law 95-419 (PDF, 158kb). This law amended the original language of the bill and directed the President to issue a proclamation for the “7 day period beginning on May 4, 1979 as ‘Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week.’” During the next decade, presidents passed annual proclamations for Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week until 1990 when Congress passed Public Law 101-283 (PDF, 166kb) which expanded the observance to a month for 1990. Then in 1992, Congress passed Public Law 102-450 (PDF, 285kb) which annually designated May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.
The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

Lackland ISD Extends Application Eligibility for Non-resident Transfers
Each year Lackland ISD accepts a limited number of student transfers. Transfer acceptance is based on the number of available slots at each grade level and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Potential transfer students must meet transfer eligibility criteria to be considered. Because a Non-resident Transfer is a privilege rather than a right, it is important to stress that transfer students will be subject to the Non-resident Transfer Agreement.
On Tuesday, March 22, 2022, Lackland ISD’s Board of Trustees approved Superintendent Dr. Burnie Roper’s recommendation to extend non-resident transfer exemptions. Under the newly adopted Board policy, Lackland ISD shall accept a transfer request only for a student who is a military dependent, a child of a District employee, or a child of a civilian employed on Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). Parents may apply for a non-resident transfer under one of the following exemptions. *The parent is serving on active military duty and is assigned to JBSA. *The parent is retired from active military duty, regardless of when the parent retired or whether the child was enrolled in the District when the parent retired.
*The resident District student becomes a non-resident during the course of a school year, and the parent separates from active military duty in a manner other than retirement. *The parent is employed by the District or is a civilian employed on JBSA. All applications will be processed electronically. All requests will be checked for accuracy. Any false or missing information may result in your application not being processed and/or denied
Effective Monday, March 28, 2022, Lackland ISD will be accepting non-resident transfer applications online. To apply for non-resident transfer consideration, please complete the application using this link: https://lacklandtxc.scriborder.com/ |

The Pedernales River Valley awoke one morning in May 1846 to the heavy creak of wagons disturbing the quiet countryside.
Developer John O. Meusebach was bringing in 120 immigrants from New Braunfels. The Pedernales was in Indian country, of course, but Meusebach, whom the Comanches called "El Sol Colorado" (the Red Sun), would make a deal with twenty Comanche Chiefs for land north of the Llano River.
Baron Ottfried Hans Von Meusebach dropped his title and became John O. Meusebach on the day he sailed for Texas. Upon arriving in New Braunfels, he learned that the Adelsverein Society, founded in Germany to promote immigration, had not yet fulfilled its destiny of turning three million acres of the Fisher-Miller Grant into a thriving frontier. New Braunfels was a way station, and by 1845, another was needed. Within months, Meusebach led his people to 10,000 acres on the Pedernales River Valley. The outpost was named Fredericksburg after Prince Frederick of Prussia, a patron of Adelsverein, By 1847, Mormons founded a nearby village called Zodiac. That same year, Meusebach solidified his peace treaty with the Comanches

9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Healthcare providers frequently tell parents what school therapy should be provided, what it should focus on, and/or how much school therapy should be provided. Then parents’ expectations are violated when the student's Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee implements the decision-making process that may not result in similar recommendations, causing confusion and resentment. This workshop will help parents contrast the medical model of therapy services (e.g., speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc.) with the school model required by federal law. Participating parents will better understand how therapy decisions are made in the schools and how to participate in that process.
