[Congressional Record Volume 167, Number 193 (Wednesday, November 3, 2021)] [House] [Page H6130] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] RECOGNIZING WILLIE JETT (Mr. EMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of St. Cloud area school district superintendent Willie Jett. Willie will be retiring from his role as superintendent at the end of this school year, ending 8 years in service to the district. During his tenure, Willie has been an advocate for students, a leader for faculty, and an ally to parents. When the district experienced challenges, Willie focused on a student-centric approach to education. Willie's leadership prioritized the performance of each student and provided the support they needed to thrive. Willie led the St. Cloud school district through times of crisis and change. He helped schools rebuild after fires and successfully navigated the COVID-19 crisis. Willie oversaw the construction of the new St. Cloud Tech High School and an early childhood education center. Willie even participated in one of our Congressional telephone townhalls to answer questions about remote learning for families across the St. Cloud community. Willie remains a friend and leader in our community. Willie's presence in the St. Cloud school district will be missed. Madam Speaker, I thank Willie for all of his work, and I wish him good luck in the next chapter of his life. ____________________
