                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 19, 2010

  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate McCall 
Butler, a student at Troup County Comprehensive High School, on his 
selection as a member of the State Student Advisory Council for the 
2009-2010 school year. McCall was one of 53 students selected by state 
schools superintendant Kathy Cox. As a council member he will have the 
honor of discussing state policies with fellow members as well as with 
superintendent Cox several times during the school year. He will also 
have the honor of serving as an ambassador for the superintendent 
within his school.
  The relationship between students and educators that this council 
facilitates is invaluable for improving and monitoring state policy. 
``It gives me a tremendous insight into how state policies and 
procedures are working in the classroom and it allows me to communicate 
directly with students in schools throughout Georgia,'' superintendent 
Cox has said.
  McCall is an outstanding Georgia scholar. He is dedicated to giving a 
voice to the concerns of his school and its vital programs. Upon 
receiving the honor he commented, ``A big reason for me to apply was 
because the Career Technical Agriculture Education programs at our 
school are very important to me, and I want to make sure they have 
continued funding going toward local, regional and state activities.''
  McCall will undoubtedly serve the interests of the students of 
Georgia and especially his school very well.
  We appreciate the service provided by McCall and his fellow members 
on the State Student Advisory Council. I congratulate McCall on behalf 
of the people of Georgia's 3rd District and wish him continued success 
in his academic endeavors.
