This week is Public Schools Week, and I rise today to recognize our public schools in Kentucky for the critical work they do to educate Kentucky's students. Public schools are essential to the growth and development of future generations. They are the backbone of our communities and responsible for educating our young people and providing them with a stable and secure learning environment. The learning opportunities provided by our schools are also critical to preparing a workforce capable of taking on the challenges of the 21st century economy. I am very proud of the public schools which make up the First Congressional District. As a product of the public school system myself, I know how hard our teachers and staff work to prepare our students for success. Madam Speaker, we thank our educators for their service, and I look forward to advocating for the needs of our public schools moving forward. ____________________
