The resolution commends Tommy Jacques, a bus driver for Madison City Schools, for his heroic actions on November 18, 2025, when he responded to an emergency involving an unresponsive child on his bus. After being alerted by another student, Tommy quickly pulled over, contacted the bus garage for an ambulance, and took immediate steps to care for the child by checking his pulse and positioning him safely until first responders arrived. Thanks to his quick thinking and calm demeanor, the child was revived and has since returned to school, where he was welcomed back with applause from his peers.

In recognition of his exemplary response, Tommy Jacques was honored at a Madison Board of Education meeting, receiving a certificate that highlighted his high standards of empathy, patience, and professionalism. The resolution not only acknowledges his lifesaving actions but also emphasizes his commitment to safety, as he regularly engages with his students about bus safety and emergency procedures. The Alabama Legislature expresses its sincere appreciation for Tommy's dedication to the well-being of his students and the positive example he sets within the school community.
