                       Thursday, October 17, 2019

  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate thirteen 
Plano ISD schools on receiving the National PTA School of Excellence 
designation.
  This recognition program, created by the National Parent Teacher 
Association, works to support and celebrate partnerships between PTAs 
and schools across the nation.
  Plano ISD is setting an incredible example, with a current Parent 
Teacher Association membership of more than 16,000 parents. With the 
help of their PTA's, Plano ISD is cultivating crucial relationships 
between teachers, parents, and the surrounding community.
  Their dedication to improving the learning environment for students 
in and outside of the classroom serves as a crucial reminder of 
volunteerism and its role in shaping a community.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating these thirteen Plano 
PTAs on their success of putting students first and championing a 
quality education.
