                        Monday, October 26, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dr. Martha Bruckner of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for her 
selection as Iowa's 2015-16 School Superintendent of the Year. Under 
Dr. Bruckner's leadership the Council Bluffs Community School District 
has seen great successes, including improved graduation rates and 
increased academic achievement.
  This award is presented by the School Administrators of Iowa, based 
on standards that include a shared vision of learning, a presence of 
school culture, a safe and effective learning environment, engagement 
with the community, integrity and fairness, and a dedication to 
addressing the issues facing public education. Dr. Bruckner embodies 
these criteria with her passion for education and her leadership within 
the Council Bluffs School District. She has shown that a commitment to 
improving the learning environment within a school district can and 
will yield positive results for students.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Dr. Bruckner for her dedicated service to the 
Council Bluffs Community School District, and more importantly, to each 
and every student she oversees. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Dr. Bruckner 
for receiving this outstanding award and in wishing her and her 
students nothing but continued success.
