  HONORING THE MABANK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT IN KAUFMAN 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 Mabank 
Independent School District in Kaufman 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 
Mabank Independent School District was able to maintain its rating of 
``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 
Superintendent Russell Marshall.
  Madam Speaker, as the representative for Kaufman County, I would like 
to commend the Mabank Independent School District for its continued 
achievements in education.
