H.R. No. 705
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the
Ysleta Independent School District Board of Trustees has worked
tirelessly to foster a suitable learning environment and ensure the
health and well-being of area students; and
WHEREAS, The alarming scale of the pandemic has forced the
school district to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances over the
past year, including the closure of campuses, the introduction of
remote learning, and the implementation of safety protocols upon
reopening; tasked with setting policy and overseeing the operation
of school facilities, the Ysleta ISD school board has carefully
considered public health guidelines while working with
administrators, educators, and parents to determine the most
efficient way for students to return to class; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated individuals presently serving on the
Ysleta ISD Board of Trustees are president Cruz A. Ochoa, vice
president Carlos Bustillos, secretary Kathryn R. Lucero, and
members Connie Woodruff, Shane Haggerty, Mike Rosales, and Sotero
G. Ramirez III; the district also benefits from the able guidance of
superintendent Dr. Xavier De La Torre; and
WHEREAS, Although COVID-19 has placed immense burdens on
schools across the country, the Ysleta ISD Board of Trustees has
risen to this unprecedented challenge, and its members are indeed
deserving of special recognition for their efforts; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Ysleta Independent School District
Board of Trustees for its leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic
and extend to its members sincere appreciation for their important
work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the board as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
