Our Work Has Just Begun.

Kelly was elected in 2023 in a Special Election, so her term has been one year shorter than most, but that doesn't mean she hasn't made big impacts on the shape and direction of the district.  She began as a district volunteer well before her children first set foot on a PfISD campus.  Below is a summary of her accomplishments as a volunteer for PfISD.
