Summary — HR 4663: Honoring Colleen O'Neal

Status: Adopted (honorary resolution)
Introduced: (record shows multiple dates; see “Procedural notes” below)
Primary sponsor (per text): Representative McClintock

Purpose

This House Resolution recognizes and honors Colleen O'Neal for her long career in education and continued community service. It is a ceremonial statement of appreciation rather than a bill that creates or changes law.

Key provisions

  • Formally recognizes Colleen O'Neal’s more than 30 years of service as a teacher, principal, and education advocate.
  • Notes her retirement in 2015 and subsequent role as President of the Battle Ground Education Foundation, including efforts to rebuild and strengthen the foundation to serve Battle Ground Public Schools.
  • Highlights specific accomplishments attributed to O'Neal:
    • Long tenure (28 years) in Battle Ground Public Schools as teacher and principal.
    • Work to eliminate or routinely pay off student lunch debt, especially for students on reduced-price meal plans.
    • Procurement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for schools to improve health and safety readiness.
    • Support for literacy programs, the Family and Community Resource Center, and unified sports.
  • Directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to Colleen O'Neal by the Chief Clerk of the House.

Who is affected

  • Colleen O'Neal (the honoree) and the Battle Ground Public Schools community are the primary subjects and beneficiaries of recognition.
  • The resolution has no regulatory impact on schools, budgets, or policy; its effect is symbolic and honors contributions.

Procedural status & timeline

  • The provided record lists the resolution as “Adopted.” A transmission provision directs the Chief Clerk to send copies to O'Neal.
  • The supplied legislative actions and sponsor list contain conflicting entries and dates (see below). Based on the resolution text, Representative McClintock is listed as the sponsor for the Colleen O'Neal resolution.

Notes and data inconsistencies

  • The supplied material includes another, unrelated Washington State House resolution honoring Mary Selecky, and also shows a mixed set of dates and sponsors (including U.S. House members). These appear to be conflated records.
  • Recommendation: verify the official legislative record (House journal or clerk’s website) for the correct introduction/adoption dates, sponsorship, and final disposition.

Impact

  • Symbolic recognition of community and educational leadership; no legal, budgetary, or regulatory changes.
