| WHEREAS, The Blue Ribbon Schools Program was created by the | ||
| U.S. Department of Education in 1982; to qualify for nomination, | ||
| schools must demonstrate academic superiority within their state or | ||

| Chandler Elementary has been rated exemplary by the Texas Education | ||
| Agency for the past four years; the campus has also been listed on | ||
| the Texas Business and Educators Coalition honor roll for three | ||
| consecutive years, and it has been recognized for its high | ||
| performance as a Title I school by its region service center; in | ||
| 2011, more than 95 percent of Chandler Elementary students passed | ||
| the reading and math sections of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge | ||
| and Skills; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Principal Tina Eaton guides the faculty in fostering | ||
| a challenging yet supportive learning environment; with its | ||
| collaborative culture, the school enjoys a high teacher retention | ||
| rate and benefits from strong partnerships with parents and the | ||
| community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through commitment and hard work, the students, | ||
| teachers, and administrators of Chandler Elementary School have | ||
| built a record of academic excellence, and their efforts have been | ||
| duly recognized with this prestigious accolade; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Chandler Elementary School on its | ||
| selection as a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Chandler Elementary as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
