                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 17, 2007

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Warren County School District Superintendent Dale Brown for winning the 
Kentucky School Board Association's 2007 F.L. Dupree Outstanding 
Superintendent Award.
  Mr. Brown was named superintendent of the Warren County School System 
in 2000. The school district has flourished under his stewardship 
throughout the past 7 years. Among his many accomplishments, Brown is 
particularly noted for maintaining the school system's budget while 
overseeing an ambitious $4 million technology overhaul that has 
outfitted every classroom with an ACTIV board.
  Superintendent Brown has also won widespread praise for his efforts 
to increase energy conservation; creating an energy education program 
and overseeing the Commonwealth's first energy efficient school in 
Alvaton, KY. These initiatives have saved the school district over $2 
million in energy costs over the last three years, demonstrating a 
remarkable local commitment to our nation's quest to promote energy 
independence.
  More than 23 different native languages are spoken by Warren County 
School District students. Mr. Brown has created a new comprehensive 
language program for limited English proficient students uniquely 
tailored to their individual needs.
  It is my great privilege to recognize Mr. Dale Brown today before the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives for his excellent work in public 
education. His dedication to the Warren County School District is felt 
by students, teachers, and administrators alike. He is an outstanding 
citizen worthy of our collective honor and appreciation.
