  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend, 
Pasco County Schools Superintendent Kurt Browning, who was recently 
named Superintendent of the Year by Magnet Schools of America. This is 
a tremendous accomplishment and exemplifies Mr. Browning's tireless 
work to expand school choice in Pasco County. Since being elected 
Superintendent in 2012, he has worked to provide quality learning 
experiences for all students. Superintendent Browning's team has 
facilitated the opening of 26 new magnet schools and other rigorous 
programs aligned to fields of study based on community need

and student interest. These enhancements have facilitated greater 
student success, as evidenced by an increase in the number of students 
earning college credit prior to graduation and the number of Cambridge 
and 1B diplomas earned. Additionally, during his tenure, more students 
have been able to attain the highest level of Bright Futures 
Scholarship--making college more affordable for these academic 
achievers.
  I thank Superintendent Browning for his commitment to ensuring that 
all students have the opportunity to reach their highest potential, and 
I wish him continued success.
