  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Women's History 
Month to salute the remarkable women of California's 14th Congressional 
District who have been entrusted to preserve and enhance our excellent 
system of public education.
  The 14th Congressional District is special for many reasons, 
including the fact that it has one of the highest number of women 
elected officials in the Nation. These talented public servants bring 
unique ideas, perspectives, and skills to their offices and provide our 
district with outstanding leadership. They are devoted to the field of 
public education and serve with honor and distinction on local boards 
of education and community college district boards. National Women's 
History Month is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the significant 
contributions these women leaders have made to our communities, 
contributions which cannot be overlooked.
  The 14th Congressional District's distinguished women elected 
officials in education are: Boardmembers Mary Mason, Judith Moss, and 
Dolores Sandoval from the Foothill/De Anza Community College District; 
Boardmember Helen Hausman from the San Mateo County Community College 
District; Trustees Maria Ferrer, Valerie Harrison, Anne Kurze, and 
Andrea Leiderman from the Santa Clara County Board of Education; 
Trustees Karen Schwarz and Beverly Willis-Gerard from the San Mateo 
County Board of Education; Boardmembers Nancy Gisko, Francesca Karpel, 
and Nancy Kehl from the Belmont Elementary School District; 
Boardmembers Mary Freeman Dove, Toni Foster, and Ruth Palmer from the 
Cabrillo Unified School District; Boardmembers Debbie Byron, Sandra 
James, and Emily Lee Kelley from the Cupertino Elementary School 
District; Boardmembers Betty Nelson, Linda Lanterman, and Nancy Newton 
from the Fremont Union High School District; Boardmembers Tracey Demma, 
Janet Gomes-Simms, and Connie Sarabia from the La Honda-Pescadero 
Unified School District; Boardmembers Lynette Aitken, Kerry Bouchier, 
and Elaine White from the Las Lomitas School District; Boardmembers 
Terri Sachs and Gerri Carlton from the Los Altos Elementary School 
District; Boardmembers Karen Canty and Marge Draper from the Menlo Park 
City School District; Boardmembers Lislie Pantling and Donna Larson 
from the Montebello Elementary School District; Boardmembers Susan 
Foden, Ann Garcia, and Susan Ware from the Mountain View Elementary 
School District; Boardmembers Lynn Alvarado, Ann Baker, Judy Hannemann, 
and Shirley Magarian from Mountain View/Los Altos High School District; 
Boardmembers Julie Jerome, Diane Reklis, and Susan Richardson from the 
Palo Alto Unified School District; Boardmembers Kathryn Reavis, Holly 
Myers, and Patricia Steuer from the Portola Valley School District; 
Boardmembers Donna Rutherford and Keisha Williams from the Ravenswood 
City Elementary School District; Boardmembers Terri Bailard, Patricia 
Brown, and Magda Gonzalez from the Redwood City Elementary School 
District; Boardmembers Joy Ferrario and Beth Hunkapiller from San 
Carlos Elementary School District; Boardmembers Pat Nail, Dr. Beverly 
Scott, Allene Sieling, and Dr. Sarah Stewart from the Sequoia Union 
High School District; Boardmembers Ellen McHenry, Linda Kilian, 
Margaret Quillinan, and Pamela Kittler from the Sunnyvale Elementary 
School District; Boardmembers Fran Kruss and Sanda Spiegel from the 
Whisman Elementary School District; and Boardmembers Heidi Brown, Ann 
Nolan, and Abby Wilder from the Woodside School District.

  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these 
remarkable women whose leadership, expertise, and commitment have made 
the 14th Congressional District a wonderful place to live. They are 
fitting representatives of the many women who make history every day 
and whose numerous accomplishments we recognize on the occasion of 
National Women's History Month.
