Celebrating School Board Appreciation Month

CELEBRATING SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH -- (Extensions of Remarks - February 03, 2004)

SPEECH OF
HON. JEB HENSARLING
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2004

Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, in the month of January, across the country, the State of Texas and in the Fifth Congressional District, we celebrate School Board Recognition Month, to acknowledge the hard work of school board members and thank them for their valuable service in the education of our children.

During School Board Recognition Month we honor the administrators, staff, and volunteers who work to promote academic excellence and provide a safe learning environment for our students.

School board members are responsible for fulfilling one of the most important roles in our society-helping develop young men and women into the future leaders of our nation's economy, government, community, and houses of worship.

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to all school board members in the Fifth Congressional District of Texas for their continued dedication and hard work. Their contribution to the education of our children is truly helping to shape the future or our communities and our Nation.
