                    RECOGNIZING PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, this week is Public Schools Week, and I 
rise today to recognize our public schools in Kentucky for the critical 
work they do to educate Kentucky's students.
  Public schools are essential to the growth and development of future 
generations. They are the backbone of our communities and responsible 
for educating our young people and providing them with a stable and 
secure learning environment.
  The learning opportunities provided by our schools are also critical 
to preparing a workforce capable of taking on the challenges of the 
21st century economy.
  I am very proud of the public schools which make up the First 
Congressional District. As a product of the public school system 
myself, I know how hard our teachers and staff work to prepare our 
students for success.
  Madam Speaker, we thank our educators for their service, and I look 
forward to advocating for the needs of our public schools moving 
forward.
