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.
