  Mr. WAXMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize J. Lloyd ``Bud''

  From 1992-2000 Bud Jacobs was principal of Venice High School, which 
Newsweek Magazine rated as one of the top 100 high schools in America. 
Venice High School also received presidential recognition for 2 
National Science Bowl championships. Since 2000, he has served as 
director of instructional support services for LAUSD's high school 
programs.
  Bud Jacobs has been honored as an outstanding administrator by the 
Association of California School Administrators and the California

with the Institute for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh and 
with the Harvard Principals' Center. He has been a trustee for the Los

  Bud Jacobs has earned the profound respect and affection of students, 
teachers and administrators within LAUSD. The Los Angeles community 
owes him a debt of gratitude for his dedication to our students and 
tireless commitment to educational excellence. I congratulate him on 
his extraordinary contributions and wish him good health and happiness 
as he embarks on this new chapter in his life.
