  HONORING THE MURCHISON AND LaPOYNER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN 
                        HENDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 3, 2007

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I would like to honor the 
Murchison and LaPoyner Independent School Districts in Henderson 
County, Texas for excellence in education.
  Education is a fundamental part of the development of our Nation's 
youth. The Texas Education Agency recently released the 2007 annual 
performance ratings for schools across Texas. It is notable that the 
Murchison and LaPoyner school districts were able to increase their 
rating to ``recognized''--which is the second-highest possible rating.
  Their performance illustrates the commitment and dedication of the 
administrators, teachers, and staff who provide students with a quality 
education. In particular, I would like to recognize the work of 
Superintendents Scott Beene and Eugene Buford.
  Madam Speaker, as the Representative for Henderson County, I would 
like to commend the Murchison and LaPoyner Independent School Districts 
for their continued achievements in education.
