H.R. No. 1285
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Lorraine Tatarevich has devoted 36 years to serving
her community as a school board member, teacher, and city council
member, and as she concludes her distinguished tenure with the
Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District Board of Trustees
it is indeed appropriate to recognize her outstanding record of
service; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Tatarevich was first elected to the school
board in 1967, and her contributions to the district helped to meet
the demands of the area's rapid population growth; during her first
tenure with the board, the district added 16 campuses and
administrative facilities, while providing excellent educational
opportunities for the district's students; and
WHEREAS, After eight years on the board, Mrs. Tatarevich
ventured into a new service arena, becoming a teacher at Trinity
High School, and for 19 years she shared her extensive business and
entrepreneurial experience as a teacher of vocational education
courses; during this time she also served her fellow citizens as a
member of the Hurst City Council; and
WHEREAS, In 1994, this remarkable woman began her second
tenure with the school board, and in the nine years since that time
she has accepted and met numerous new challenges, including finding
quality replacements for retiring teachers and overseeing the
renovation and replacement of aging facilities; she has also played
a role in enhancing the high-tech capabilities in the district's
schools and implementing the Schools of Choice and International
Baccalaureate programs; and
WHEREAS, During her years with the H-E-B ISD Board of
Trustees, Mrs. Tatarevich has established a reputation for putting
students and teachers first, and her legacy of excellence with this
exceptional school district will not soon be forgotten; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to Lorraine Tatarevich for her
service to the citizens of Hurst-Euless-Bedford and extend to her
best wishes as she concludes her service on the H-E-B ISD Board of
Trustees; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Tatarevich as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
