| HOUSE RESOLUTION
|
2 |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of |
3 |
| Representatives wish to congratulate Dr. Lynne Rauch on her |
4 |
| retirement after 34 years in education and 9 years as the |
5 |
| Superintendent of Schools in Schaumburg Community Consolidated |
6 |
| School District 54 on June 30, 2004; and
|
7 |
| WHEREAS, Dr. Rauch came to District 54 in 1995 from |
8 |
| Stockton, California, where she had spent five years as |
9 |
| superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools; she received a |
10 |
| bachelor and master's degree in education from Eastern Illinois |
11 |
| University and a doctorate of education from the University of |
12 |
| San Francisco; and
|
13 |
| WHEREAS, Dr. Rauch is only the fifth superintendent to |
14 |
| serve District 54 in its 51 years as a public school district; |
15 |
| during her tenure in District 54, Dr. Rauch has initiated many |
16 |
| unique educational programs, has involved the community within |
17 |
| the district, and has led an excellent educational system for |
18 |
| the students; and
|
19 |
| WHEREAS, Dr. Rauch has helped District 54 stay in the black |
20 |
| despite operating under a tax cap that limits the additional |
21 |
| amount of revenues taxing bodies can collect each year; the |
22 |
| school district has not had a tax referendum during her nine |
23 |
| years in the district; while operating under this balanced |
24 |
| budget, District 54 students have continued to exceed State |
25 |
| averages on the Illinois Standards Achievement Tests given to |
26 |
| students each spring; and
|
27 |
| WHEREAS, Dr. Rauch has also led the district to develop |
28 |
| stronger ties with State legislators, strengthening their |
29 |
| understanding of the needs of education and finances in |
30 |
| District 54; and
|
