H.R. No. 487 is a resolution recognizing the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District for being one of the top five school districts in Texas for new National Board-certified teachers in 2024. National Board certification is a prestigious credential in education that aims to develop, retain, and acknowledge accomplished teachers while promoting continuous improvement in schools. Achieving this certification is a challenging process that requires educators to meet high professional standards and demonstrate their effectiveness in enhancing student learning. In 2024, only 183 educators in Texas received this certification, highlighting the significance of this accomplishment.

The resolution specifically honors six educators from the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD who earned National Board certification: Melissa Dean and Christy Stoddard from Norma J. Paschal Elementary School, Kathryn Muha from J. Frank Dobie Junior High School, Lauren Rollins and Connie Baker from Samuel Clemens High School, and April Phillips from Byron P. Steele II High School. These teachers exemplify the dedication and innovative spirit that characterize exceptional educators, setting a standard of excellence for their peers. The resolution concludes by extending best wishes for continued success to all associated with the district.
