West Chicago District 33 is a suburban school district situated 30 miles west of Chicago in DuPage County. It serves 4,500 students in grades PreK-8. Although West Chicago D33 is located in the third most affluent county in Illinois, it is over 74 percent low-income. As of 2019, 81 percent of the district's population is Hispanic, with over 54 percent of the students designated as English Language Learners. Over the past 12 years, Kristina has overseen D33's Prek-8th grade curriculum and instructional programs as well as assessment and accountability systems. Kristina's educational career began 20 years ago as the first bilingual teacher in an Illinois farming community of migrant workers. In 2003, she started her administrative career as a principal and district administrator in the third largest district in Illinois. In 2009, she was hired in West Chicago as the Director of Second Language Learning and then assumed the role of Assistant Superintendent. Since then she has been involved in numerous initiatives that have promoted equity and helped to expand programming for a diverse community of learners. She did this through professional development for building administration around systems for improvement that focus on teaming and data-driven action plans at all levels of the organization. She also did this by tailoring programs to meet the needs of the diverse population of learners. More recently, District she was involved in strategic planning as well as successful collective bargaining. She also worked with her team to expand the gifted program to include more students, rolled out full-day kindergarten, and expanded the dual language program district-wide. Over the past couple of years, the expansion of the dual-language program has flourished into an amazing cultural arts program that now boasts a ballet foklórico dance troupe, mariachi band, and student art gallery that is becoming well-known in the area. This has dramatically increased student involvement and parent engagement among families. She supported these growing initiatives through the professional development of staff, and parent and community engagement. She credits the amazing teachers and administrative colleagues that she has worked with and grown from for the success of these initiatives. Kristina has two children, Alexandra and Joshua who have recently graduated from college and are living currently living in St. Charles, Illinois with her husband, Pete, and two dogs.voir moins
