  CONGRATULATIONS DR. JOHN JUNGMANN ON BEING NAMED AS MISSOURI'S TOP 
                  SUPERINTENDENT DEVELOPER OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. John Jungmann, 
superintendent of Springfield Public Schools, who has been named as 
Missouri's top superintendent and later this year will be a candidate 
for the nation's top superintendent.
  Dr. Jungmann was recognized by the Missouri Association of School 
Administrators for his efforts in moving Springfield Public Schools 
forward and understanding and addressing opportunity gaps for all 
students. In addition to these accomplishments, Dr. Jungmann challenged 
the community to think of ways to improve teaching and learning. He 
created innovative programs which included flexible schedules and the 
growth of summer learning, and initiated a three year plan that would 
grant laptops and tablets to every student, grades 3-12.
  Dr. Jungmann is truly dedicated to improving the lives of our youth 
and has shown a passion for education that is worthy of deep 
admiration. I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating him for 
this achievement. On behalf of Missouri's Seventh Congressional 
District, I wish Dr. Jungmann the best of luck in all his future 
endeavors.
