           IN RECOGNITION OF OUR STELLAR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 9, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hard working 
School Board members of Pearland Independent School District.
  Our school board members of Pearland ISD in the 22nd Congressional 
District of Texas play a critical role in the success of our schools. 
Our district is the most diverse and fastest growing congressional 
district in America, due largely in part to the hardworking and caring 
educators and school board members that dedicate their time and energy 
on our schools; ensuring that our children can achieve whatever they 
set their mind to. Our school board members were elected or hired to be 
the caretakers of the American Dream--any child can be anything they 
want--if they receive the education that will give them the necessary 
tools to achieve their dream. Our schools are stronger because each of 
them embrace the challenge.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, thank 
you again to Pearland ISD for being Super-Heroes in developing our 
leaders of tomorrow.
