  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge the great 
accomplishments of Victoria Delgado.
  As the Director of Bilingual/Multicultural Programs for Community 
School District 32, Vicky, as she is affectionately known, is one of 
New York City's education veterans. She led the charge on behalf of 
bilingual education and contributed to nurturing and developing new 
teachers and supervisors through her teachings, coaching and mentoring. 
Vicky has made her mark on New York City as an effective and committed 
proponent and advocate for quality bilingual instruction, equal access 
and opportunity.
  Vicky is no retiring from the New York City Board of Education. She 
will be forever known for her contributions to the education of 
children with limited English proficiency. I want to offer my 
congratulations and best wishes to Vicky on her retirement.
