RECOGNITION OF TIM HOFFMAN, SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE ADEL-DESOTO-MINBURN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of Tim 
Hoffman, Superintendent for the Adel-Desoto-Minburn School District, 
and to express my appreciation for his dedication and commitment to the 
youth of Iowa.
  For the past 25 years, Tim has contributed his time and his talents 
to the betterment of young Iowans. During his time as superintendent 
there have been many district-wide improvements, and a new high school 
was built. Over the years, the school curriculum has also been 
significantly modified to create greater consistency and to focus on 
essential learning material, which has in turn helped raise student 
achievement scores. He credits much of his success to having quality 
school board members, great administrators, and dedicated employees in 
the school district. Nearly all the current school district employees 
were hired by Tim.
  During his service, Tim has made a significant impact on the students 
and the entire surrounding community. His leadership will certainly be 
missed. I consider it an honor to represent Tim Hoffman in Congress, 
and I wish him continued success in his future endeavors.
