teacher and after 13 years of teaching became an administrator. Over 
the years, Kris worked her way up from assistant principal to District 
Superintendent. As Superintendent, Kris has done impressive and 
impactful work including maintaining and updating aging facilities by 
supporting two successful bond measures that authorized 500 million 
dollars in bond funding. She has also made a point of emphasizing the 
social and emotional wellbeing of her students by expanding emotional 
support programs for students and families and assembling an excellent 
team to deliver physical, intellectual, and emotional services to her 
students. Through her skill and perseverance at building collaborative 
relationships with people of the FSUSD community Kris has been able to 
achieve remarkable feats despite facing the same teacher and budget 
shortages that impact districts nationwide. The work Kris does is 
critical to the future successes of our communities and her dedication 
to preserving and improving public education is an inspiration to all. 
On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, it 
is my pleasure to honor and recognize Kris Corey for her positive 
contributions to our community.
