  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Lamar CISD 
Board of Trustees for being selected as one of the Honor School Boards 
as part of the 2018 Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) 
School Board

Awards--one of only five school boards to be selected across Texas.
  The five Honor Boards are selected by a committee made up of 
distinguished school superintendents. Their selection decisions were 
based on a specific educational criterion, including maintaining 
harmonious and supportive relationships amongst board members, support 
for educational improvement projects, a commitment to a code of ethics 
and support for continuous educational development. The Lamar CISD 
Board was chosen by Superintendent Dr. Thomas Randle, who said the 
Board has ``made a dramatic impact in the lives of the local community, 
taxpayer, and schoolchildren in a just a short time.'' Their mission 
resonates within their community as they continue to center their 
teachings to develop and relay practical life-long learning habits.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees. I thank them 
for their commitment to the betterment of education and helping to 
nurture Texas students. We all wish them the best of luck as they 
compete for the final prize: 2018 Outstanding School Board.
