                          FLOYD COUNTY SCHOOLS

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Floyd 
County school system on receiving an ``out-performer'' rating in the 
Standard and Poor's 2006 School Evaluation report. Floyd County was one 
of only 20 school districts in the State of Georgia to receive this 
distinction.
  This award recognizes the great work Floyd County schools are doing 
to educate our children. I know everyone in the community was excited, 
but not surprised, by this honor, as Floyd County consistently displays 
exceptional levels of student achievement.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the dedicated Floyd County educators 
whose hard work earned this award. Floyd County superintendent Kelly 
Henson, members of the Floyd County School Board, principals, teachers, 
parents at every school in the system deserve our gratitude for a job 
well done. I know Floyd County will continue its long tradition as a 
leader in educational achievement for the State of Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in congratulating the Floyd 
County school system and in thanking its educators for their dedication 
to developing the minds of our community's rising leaders.
