She moved to Saint Paul when she started Kindergarten and attended Saint Paul Public Schools throughout her educational years. She has two sons, now grown with their own families, who also attended SPPS. Kris grew up with her mother being a part of the PTA at her schools and when Kris became a mother, she joined the PTA herself.
For nine years she served as a Parent Liaison on the West Side. This position was about getting parents involved through workshops and projects.
