Kolvira Chheng

Kolvira Chheng was born in Cambodia during the Cambodian Civil War. His family fled the country and arrived in America in the early 1980s. He grew up in the East Side of San Jose, CA, and attended San Jose State University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science, in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting.

He began his career in School Business and Finance with the Santa Clara County Office of Education where he served for sixteen years in various roles. Since then, he’s been with the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District since 2015 and was appointed as the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services in February 2017.

Coming from a family of educators where his grandfather was a teacher and his father was a teacher and principal, education was at the forefront of their values. Through his own life experience, he understands that access and equity are key to the success of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

He and his wife, Lisa Marie Chheng, are proud parents of three daughters, Lynley, Ralyssa and Jayanna.
