              SALUTING THE CITY OF CLEVELAND ON NEW SCHOOL

  (Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Madam Speaker, this morning I rise to salute the 
city of Cleveland; the CEO of the Cleveland Municipal School District, 
Barbara Byrd-Bennett; former mayor, Michael White; current mayor, Jane 
Campbell, because yesterday we broke ground on the first brand new 
school in the city of Cleveland in more than 20 years, AJ Rickoff 
Elementary School.

                              {time}  1100

  It will not only be a school center, but it will also have a library, 
and hopefully opportunities for parents to train from CCC College or 
Kiowa Community College.
  It is just a wonderful thing, after Issue 14 passed last year, that 
we were able to break ground on a new school. We anticipate that we 
will build more than 40 new schools in the city of Cleveland over the 
next 5 years. Here is for education, here is for the Cleveland Board of 
Education, the Cleveland School Board, and here is for the children of 
the city of Cleveland.
  I am thankful for the opportunity to be supportive. Let us build more 
schools.
