Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and honor the extraordinary service of Louisa County School Superintendent Doug Straley. Mr. Straley has worked tirelessly for many years to improve the lives of students, teachers, and staff in Louisa County Public Schools. For his effort, Mr. Straley was named the 2024 Virginia Superintendent of the Year by the Virginia Association of School Superintendents, recognizing his outstanding leadership of the county schools. Mr. Straley began his career as a teacher and served as an athletics director, high school principal, and assistant superintendent before assuming his current position as superintendent. As a lifelong resident of Louisa County, Mr. Straley has proudly dedicated 29 years of service to Louisa County Public Schools. His contributions to the Louisa community are immeasurable, and he is a most worthy recipient of this award. I thank Mr. Straley for his exceptional achievements in Louisa County. I wish him continued success as he strives to impact students in the county. I am honored to represent Superintendent Doug Straley and all the incredible public servants of Virginia's Fifth District. ____________________
