HONORING MR. DORIAN PACE

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 49 (Friday, March 14, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 49 (Friday, March 14, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E213-E214] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING MR. DORIAN PACE ______ HON. SHONTEL M. BROWN of ohio in the house of representatives Friday, March 14, 2025 Ms. BROWN. Mr. Speaker, today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Dorian Pace, a Cleveland Heights School Bus Driver, whose heroism, service, and character saved the lives of fifteen students. It was the morning of February 27th when Mr. Pace heard a loud boom from under the bus. This is when the experience he accumulated from his eleven years working with the [[Page E214]] Cleveland Heights School District kicked in to save the lives of students as the bus began to be engulfed in flames. From the moment the school bus doors open in the early morning to dropping out children off at the bus stop in the afternoon, school bus drivers are vital to ensuring that the most precious among our community have a safe passage to and from school. Mr. Pace is a proud member of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees/American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (OAPSE/AFSCME) Local 4 and The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). Prior to working for the Cleveland Heights School District, he worked with the Bellefaire JCB, mental health facility, which provides 24/7 treatment for youth and adolescents in Northeast, Ohio. Mr. Pace's commitment to public service is a testament to the many hardworking individuals of OH-11. I thank Mr. Pace for saving the lives of fifteen children and for dedicating his life to serving our community. ____________________
