  Mr. BROWN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
hard work and dedication of the teachers, staff and partners involved 
in the San Bernardino County Schools Community Coalition projects. It 
is all too infrequent that we take the opportunity to acknowledge and 
commend those who help improve the lives of our students.
  Those who have spent the past several years in Community Coalition 
projects have contributed a great deal to our community and to the 
futures of our children. County students benefit from excellent 
programs in the areas of early literacy, technology, school safety, and 
career preparation.
