                        Thursday, March 13, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of Tim 
Hoffman, Superintendent for the Adel-Desoto-Minburn School District, 
and to express my appreciation for his dedication and commitment to the 
youth of Iowa.
  For the past 25 years, Tim has contributed his time and his talents 
to the betterment of young Iowans. During his time as superintendent 
there have been many district-wide

improvements, and a new high school was built. Over the years, the 
school curriculum has also been significantly modified to create 
greater consistency and to focus on essential learning material, which 
has in turn helped raise student achievement scores. He credits much of 
his success to having quality school board members, great 
administrators, and dedicated employees in the school district. Nearly 
all the current school district employees were hired by Tim.
  During his service, Tim has made a significant impact on the students 
and the entire surrounding community. His leadership will certainly be 
missed. I consider it an honor to represent Tim Hoffman in Congress, 
and I wish him continued success in his future endeavors.
