                         Tuesday, June 7, 2016

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Andrew ``Andy'' 
Hyman of Marin County, California, for his selection as the Trustee of 
the Year at the 2016 Golden Bell Awards Ceremony, presented by the 
Marin County Office of Education in collaboration with the Marin County 
School Board Association and other local civic organizations. A member 
of the Dixie School District Board of Trustees, Mr. Hyman has spent 
more than a decade advocating for and advising the district and its 
students.
   As a member who served two terms as president of the Dixie School 
Board, Mr. Hyman has devoted thousands of hours on vital committees and 
efforts. He led a district-wide transportation committee to lower home-
to-school transportation costs, and helped initiate green purchasing 
and recycling policies. Additionally, he led efforts to create the 
first district-wide anti-bullying policy, and has worked to improve 
nutrition in school lunches.
   Mr. Hyman has been a consistent leader in our community across a 
range of issues affecting our schools. From organizing rallies to 
working with local legislators, he has been a consistent and effective 
voice for our students and their opportunities for success.
   The Golden Bell Awards celebrate public education in Marin County by 
recognizing outstanding teachers and supportive community partners. 
Each year, they select an exemplary educator, classified employee, 
teacher, and trustee for recognition.
   Mr. Speaker, it is therefore fitting that we honor and thank Andrew 
``Andy'' Hyman for his contributions to students and public education 
in Marin County and California.
