27th year as a teacher in Jefferson City. Currently, she is a third 
grade teacher at West Elementary School in Jefferson City.
  Last spring, Mrs. Eisinger was chosen from more than 100 applications 
as the Jefferson City District's Teacher of the Year. Then, out of a 
group of six teachers competing for the State honor, she was chosen as 
the Missouri Teacher of the Year. As Missouri's Teacher of the Year, 
Mrs. Eisinger automatically will be entered in the National Teacher of 
the Year Competition.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, I wish to extend my congratulations to Mrs. 
Linda Eisinger. It is with great pride that I honor her for being named 
the Missouri Teacher of the Year.
