    Train tracks run by Ty'Sheoma Bethea's school, J.V. Martin Jr. High School, background left, in Dillon, S.C. on Wednesday Feb. 25, 2009. More than a year before Obama mentioned J.V. Martin Junior High in his speech to Congress Tuesday night, he visited the school in the poor, rural city of Dillon and saw how 'the paint peels off the walls, and they have to stop teaching six times a day because the train barrels by.' Bethea was in the audience for Tuesday night's speech, sitting next to the first lady. (AP Photo/Willis Glassgow)AP - A South Carolina county is getting millions in federal funds to replace a crumbling school cited by President Barack Obama in his first address to Congress last year as an example of how the government should help with school construction.
