On the recordDecember 16, 2020
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give a special shout-out to Mike Vuckovich, superintendent of the Indiana Area School District. Mike was recently recognized as one of America's Superintendents to Watch for 2020. He was one of only 24 recipients to receive this recognition and the only Pennsylvanian. Mike has been on the job just 2 years but recently was recognized by the National School Public Relations Association as a 2020 Superintendent to Watch. The organization selects superintendents from across the country who ``demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core.'' This is exactly what Mike has done with his time at Indiana Area School District. Mike has been a champion for digital technology and online communication throughout the district, investments that have clearly come in handy in the age of coronavirus. The district's new website and social media accounts have been a useful tool to keep parents, teachers, and students on the same page during what has undoubtedly been a hectic and stressful school year. I thank Mike for his drive, dedication, and initiative, and I am pleased to have a leader like Mike in Indiana County. ____________________
