          RECOGNIZING 13 PLANO ISD PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATIONS

  (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 13 Plano ISD 
schools on receiving the National PTA School of Excellence designation. 
This recognition program, accredited by the National Parent Teacher 
Association, works to support and celebrate the partnership between 
PTAs and schools across this great land.
  Plano ISD is setting an incredible example with a current PTA 
membership of more than 16,000 parents. With the help of their PTAs, 
Plano ISD is cultivating crucial relationships between parents, 
teachers, and the surrounding community. Their dedication to improving 
the learning environment for students in and outside the classroom 
serves as a crucial reminder of the volunteerism and its role in 
shaping a community.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating these 13 Plano PTAs 
on their success of putting students first and championing a quality 
education.
