                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2017

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Randy Reid, 
Superintendent of Schools at Keller Independent School District (ISD). 
Dr. Reid is retiring after thirty-four years of public service in 
Texas.
  Dr. Reid received a bachelor's degree from Baylor University and a 
master's degree and Doctorate in Education Administration from Texas 
A&M University at Commerce. After completing his own education, Dr. 
Reid began his career in public service as a teacher in Richardson ISD. 
Over the next 24 years, he advanced from teacher to coach to Assistant 
Superintendent of Richardson ISD. Before assuming the helm of Keller 
ISD in 2012, Dr. Reid served as the Superintendent of Celina ISD and 
Tyler ISD.
  While serving as superintendent, Dr. Reid oversaw the passage of a 
$169.5 million bond package which funded four new campuses in the 
District. This expansion included Keller's first campus solely devoted 
to Career and Technological Education coursework, the cutting-edge 
Keller Center for Advanced Learning.
  While serving as a catalyst for academic success in his own district, 
Dr. Reid has also advocated for the advancement of quality education 
throughout the state of Texas. Dr. Red currently serves as President of 
the Texas Fast Growth School Coalition, a group of more than fifty of 
the fastest-growing Texas school districts. In addition, he is active 
member of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Waiver Review 
Board, the Texas Association of School Administrators, and the Future 
Ready Superintendents Leadership Institute.
  For the past five years, Dr. Reid has been a dedicated community 
leader in the greater Keller area. I salute Dr. Reid for his exemplary 
career and extend my best wishes upon his retirement. It is an honor to 
represent the students, families, teachers and staff of Keller ISD in 
the U.S. House of Representatives.
