  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service 
of long-time educator and community leader, Dr. Nellie Meyer.
  Dr. Meyer has dedicated her career to improving education on various 
levels, ranging from working as a middle school and high school teacher 
to holding an array of leadership positions, most recently as the Mount 
Diablo Unified School District Superintendent. Throughout her career, 
Dr. Meyer has advocated for supporting at-risk youth, improving student 
achievement, and giving students the best education possible.
  As the Mount Diablo Unified School District Superintendent for the 
past six years, Dr. Meyer focused on innovation and problem solving. 
She was a leader in the California City School Superintendents 
organization and has written multiple articles in professional 
education publications. Dr. Meyer has also presented at numerous 
national conferences on school turnaround, dropout prevention, and best 
practices for school systems.
  Dr. Meyer's colleagues admire her sharp mind, empathetic nature, 
ability to think outside the box, and her insistence that a district 
has the responsibility to provide high quality education to every 
student.
  On June 24th, Dr. Meyer is transferring her skills to the Los Altos/
Mountain View Union High School District to carry on her passion for 
improving education for young people. Please join me in wishing Dr. 
Meyer good luck in her transition and thanking her for continuing her 
commitment to the youth of our community.
