Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today, as a former school board member, to honor and welcome Dr. Jose L. Dotres as the newly appointed Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-

Dr. Dotres holds a doctorate degree in Leadership and Innovation from St. Thomas University, an educational specialist degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Miami, a master's degree in Reading from Barry University, and a bachelor's degree in Public Administration from Florida International University.

He has served in the capacity of Teacher, Reading Coach, Principal, District Administrator, Regional Administrative Director, Region Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Chief Academic Officer of Broward County Public Schools, Chief of Staff, Chief Human Capital Officer, and most recently, Deputy Superintendent of Collier County Public Schools.

On the national level, Dr. Dotres has made significant contributions to organizations such as the Council of the Great City Schools. Additionally, he is the co-author of several educational publications and has presented to the Florida Senate's Appropriations Subcommittee on Education and the Florida House of Representatives' PreK-12 Quality Subcommittee on Education on topics related to teacher recruitment and retention and early literacy interventions. In 2013, he was inducted into the Miami Dade College Alumni Hall of Fame.

Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Superintendent Dr. Jose L. Dotres as he returns to Miami to lead the fourth-largest school district in the nation with over 40,000 employees and 330,000 students.
