                         Tuesday, March 5, 2019

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank James ``Buck'' 
Gilcrease on his years of dedication and service to the students and 
faculty of Alvin ISD.
  Since assuming the Superintendent position in 2014, James has 
overseen the opening of seven new schools in the district. James led 
the district through multiple successful bond elections which were 
needed because of unprecedented population growth. During his tenure, 
seven new schools were opened by Alvin ISD. Even though James is 
retiring, he plans to continue his legacy advocating for the 
advancement of our children's education.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, thank 
you again to James ``Buck'' Gilcrease for his years of dedication and 
commitment to academic excellence at Alvin ISD. While we are sad to see 
him leave Alvin ISD, we wish him the best in his future endeavors.
