| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, Proud community members are gathering in Austin on |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | February 12, 2019, to celebrate South Texas Independent School |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | District Day at the State Capitol; and |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, Originally known as the Rio Grande Rehabilitation |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | District, the South Texas Independent School District was |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | established in 1964 to create further educational opportunities for |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | area youths with disabilities; in 1983, legislators broadened the |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | district's purpose to allow it to operate vocational magnet |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | schools, and as a result, STISD opened South Texas High School for |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | Health Professions in 1984 and The Science Academy of South Texas |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | five years later; the district established The Teacher Academy of |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | South Texas in 1993, subsequently renaming the school South Texas |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | Business, Education & Technology Academy to reflect an expanded |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | focus; over the following years, the magnet program continued to |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | grow with the addition of South Texas Academy for Medical |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | Professions, South Texas Preparatory Academy, and Rising Scholars |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | Academy of South Texas; and |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | WHEREAS, Currently encompassing six college-preparatory |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | magnet schools in Edinburg, Mercedes, Olmito, and San Benito, STISD |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | is the only all-magnet district in the state; it serves more than |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | 4,100 junior high and high school students and maintains an open |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | enrollment policy that attracts interested and hardworking pupils |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | from 28 school districts in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy Counties; |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | in addition, it continues to provide educational and occupational |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | training for students with special needs through its career and |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | technology half-day program; and |
|---|
| 31 | 32 | | WHEREAS, The district attained a high level of success under |
|---|
| 32 | 33 | | the leadership of Dr. Marla M. Guerra, who recently retired from |
|---|
| 33 | 34 | | her position as superintendent after 17 years; in 2018, the |
|---|
| 34 | 35 | | inaugural year of letter ratings, the Texas Education Agency |
|---|
| 35 | 36 | | awarded the district an "A" rating, and for the fifth year in a row, |
|---|
| 36 | 37 | | STISD received the postsecondary readiness distinction |
|---|
| 37 | 38 | | designation, the only one available to districts; furthermore, all |
|---|
| 38 | 39 | | campuses in the district received a "met standard" rating, with |
|---|
| 39 | 40 | | three of the campuses earning all distinctions for which they were |
|---|
| 40 | 41 | | eligible; and |
|---|
| 41 | 42 | | WHEREAS, The district's new superintendent, Dr. Marco |
|---|
| 42 | 43 | | Antonio Lara Jr., is committed to working alongside a staff of |
|---|
| 43 | 44 | | accomplished teachers, administrators, and support personnel to |
|---|
| 44 | 45 | | ensure the success of young people in the tri-county area and to |
|---|
| 45 | 46 | | make a positive difference in the life of each student; and |
|---|
| 46 | 47 | | WHEREAS, The faculty and staff of South Texas ISD continue to |
|---|
| 47 | 48 | | look for new ways to help students achieve, lead, and contribute to |
|---|
| 48 | 49 | | a changing world; to that end, the district has adopted a new |
|---|
| 49 | 50 | | strategic plan, which includes the following call to action: "Each |
|---|
| 50 | 51 | | student thrives in real world challenges as a visionary in a global |
|---|
| 51 | 52 | | society"; and |
|---|
| 52 | 53 | | WHEREAS, For more than half a century, the South Texas |
|---|
| 53 | 54 | | Independent School District has dedicated itself to offering |
|---|
| 54 | 55 | | students the best educational opportunities possible, and in so |
|---|
| 55 | 56 | | doing, it has equipped several generations of Texans with the |
|---|
| 56 | 57 | | knowledge and skills necessary to build a brighter future; now, |
|---|
| 57 | 58 | | therefore, be it |
|---|
| 58 | 59 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|---|
| 59 | 60 | | Legislature hereby recognize February 12, 2019, as South Texas |
|---|
| 60 | 61 | | Independent School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to |
|---|
| 61 | 62 | | all those in attendance sincere best wishes for an enjoyable visit |
|---|
| 62 | 63 | | to Austin. |
