H.R. No. 88
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Mansfield Independent School District is
celebrating the opening of the Dr. Sarah K. Jandrucko Academy for
Early Learners with a dedication ceremony on January 26, 2019; and
WHEREAS, The new campus is named in honor of Dr. Sarah
K. Jandrucko, a former Mansfield ISD educator who was a champion
for early childhood education over the course of 34 years with the
district; hired as a fourth-grade teacher at Alice Ponder
Elementary School in 1978, Dr. Jandrucko was later appointed
principal at J. L. Boren and Glenn Harmon Elementary Schools before
moving into administrative roles at the district level; prior to
her retirement in 2012, she served as an assistant superintendent
of early education and area superintendent; she maintained a career
focus on nurturing the potential of the district's youngest
learners, and the Dr. Sarah K. Jandrucko Academy is the culmination
of her longtime support for the creation of a Mansfield ISD
prekindergarten campus; and
WHEREAS, Designed to improve the academic readiness of young
students, the academy aims to promote literacy and numeracy
development; the school is centered on research asserting that
children learn best through active, exploratory experiences, and it
features 16 distinct learning environments; and
WHEREAS, A fitting tribute to the contributions of its
namesake, the Dr. Sarah K. Jandrucko Academy will equip young
Texans with the knowledge and skills necessary to build a brighter
future, and it is indeed a welcome addition to the Mansfield
Independent School District; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the Dr. Sarah
K. Jandrucko Academy for Early Learners and extend to the school's
teachers, staff, and students sincere best wishes for the future;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
