SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Lubbock Independent School District on the occasion |
|
|
of its 100th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A thriving city of more than 200,000 people, Lubbock |
|
|
is known as the "Hub City," as it is the center for the region's |
|
|
economy, transportation, and health care, and the Lubbock |
|
|
Independent School District has served as the "Hub of Education" on |
|
|
the South Plains since it was officially established in April of |
|
|
1907; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Formal education began in Lubbock County as early as |
|
|
1891, when Miss Minnie Tubbs started a school in the unfinished |
|
|
county jail; the county's early settlers considered education so |
|
|
important that they petitioned the Texas Legislature for the |
|
|
creation of an independent school district two years before the |
|
|
incorporation of the town; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A special act of the 30th Texas Legislature was |
|
|
passed on April 4, 1907, incorporating Lubbock Independent School |
|
|
District; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, the Lubbock Independent School |
|
|
District has radically changed from a one-room county school to |
|
|
that of a modern educational district with four early childhood |
|
|
centers, 37 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and four high |
|
|
schools with many auxiliary campuses, and the district is truly a |
|
|
tremendous asset and a source of much pride to the citizens of |
|
|
Lubbock; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby commend the students, faculty, administration, and staff of |
|
|
the Lubbock Independent School District, past and present, for 100 |
|
|
years of educational excellence; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for the |
|
|
district as an expression of high regard from the Texas |
|
|
Legislature. |
