  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate one of 
my hometown school districts for its outstanding achievements and 
recently being named the 2004 Texas Honor School Board by the Texas 
Association of School Administrators.
  Among the factors that resulted in the recognition of the Lewisville 
School Board were its vision, commitment, and leadership as policy 
makers; commitment to the improvement of student performance and 
evidence of academic achievement; evidence of strong community support 
for the district; cooperation among board members and the 
superintendent; and evidence of successful school-business 
partnerships.
  Congratulations to the following members of the Lewisville district 
school board: Mark Shaw, Fred Placke, Carol Kyer, Anita Nelson, Tom 
Kim, Mike McDaniel, and Tom Ferguson for the honor.
  I am delighted that your award-winning performance has garnered you 
this recognition. Your work is greatly appreciated.
  The Lewisville school district has a history of outstanding 
distinction throughout the state of Texas and continues to pursue 
educational excellence. Every member is vital to the overall goal and 
performance of the board.
