                       Tuesday, November 30, 2021

  Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tina Marquis, 
the President of the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education, 
in Colorado for her many years of service to our community and our 
students.
  Tina has been a Board Member of Boulder Valley since 2013, and during 
her tenure she also served as the Board Treasurer and four years as 
President.
  She has a more than decade-long history of volunteerism and service 
to the Boulder Valley community, beginning with the elementary school 
her two children attended--and eventually at the district-level through 
the District Accountability Committee, where she served as the 
chairwoman for two years.

  She is a tireless advocate for public education, equity and student 
safety and has worked closely with local municipalities and state 
legislators to address the safety needs of students.
  Finally, during the pandemic and the other challenges she has been a 
stalwart leader, approaching each challenge with an open mind, while 
also being committed to doing what was best for students.
  She was recently recognized for her outstanding leadership by the 
Colorado Association of School Boards--who bestowed upon her their 
McGuffey Award.
  I would like to thank Tina Marquis for her outstanding service to the 
Boulder Valley School District, to the State of Colorado and to our 
great country. She, no doubt, has been a beacon of leadership--and her 
influence has benefited the lives of many children in BVSD and beyond.
