                    CONGRATULATING DR. DIANA GREENE

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Duval 
County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene.
  This week, she was named the Florida Superintendent of the Year by 
the Florida Association of District School Superintendents, and we are 
all incredibly proud of her well-deserved recognition.
  Over these last 5 years, including during Dr. Greene's leadership, 
the Duval graduation rate increased from 76 percent to 86 percent, an 
amazing accomplishment.
  She has also helped to improve safety and security within our schools 
and fought to secure additional educational funding for Duval County 
Public Schools. Dr. Greene is an excellent example and mentor to both 
educators and students alike.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Florida, I thank 
Dr. Greene for her commitment to education and for working hard every 
day to make Duval County Public Schools a place where students can 
learn, grow, and thrive.
