                         HONORING TRACEY VACKAR

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Riverside Community 
College District Trustee Tracey Vackar for her esteemed service to 
public education throughout California's 41st Congressional District.
  Trustee Vackar embodies steadfast commitment to Riverside Community 
College students, helping them realize and achieve the American Dream 
through education.
  Tracey is the immediate past president of the RCCD board and was 
elected by her out-of-district peers to serve on the California 
Community College Trustees Board, a massive indication of her 
leadership. With over two decades of working in the Moreno Valley 
Unified School District, and in my colleague Pete Aguilar's neighboring 
district with Fontana Unified School District, Tracey's dedication to 
students spans the Inland Empire.
  Tracey deeply understands the critical role that our community 
colleges play in creating workforce training opportunities to expand 
middle-class families' pathway toward college degrees.
  With her unparalleled passion for service, Tracey is an exemplary 
role model for Inland Empire students. She will be missed on the board, 
but I wish her best of luck on her next journey.
