RECOGNIZING DR. LISA SAYLES-ADAMS, MINNESOTA SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Minneapolis Public 
Schools superintendent, Dr. Lisa Sayles-Adams, on her achievement of 
being named the 2026 Minnesota Superintendent of the Year.
  Bringing over 30 years of experience as a teacher, principal, and 
district leader, Dr. Sayles-Adams is the second Minneapolis school 
superintendent to win the State honor.
  Since stepping into this role, Dr. Sayles-Adams has been committed to 
working alongside families, faculty, and students to improve our public 
schools, visiting over 50 schools, and hosting seven community 
listening sessions.
  Under her leadership, Minneapolis Public Schools have been marked by 
positive change, with community trust and academic performance 
improving districtwide.
  I am incredibly grateful for her dedication to ensuring Minneapolis' 
children receive the support they need to succeed.
