 HONORING THE RICHARDSON AND SUNNYVALE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN 
                          DALLAS 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 
Richardson and Sunnyvale Independent School Districts in Dallas 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 
Richardson Independent School District was able to maintain its rating 
of ``recognized''--which is the second-highest possible rating--and the 
Sunnyvale Independent School District was able to increase its rating 
to ``exemplary''--which is the 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 David Simmons and Doug Williams.
  Madam Speaker, as a representative for Dallas County, I would like to 
commend the Richardson and Sunnyvale Independent School Districts for 
their continued achievements in education.

                          ____________________
