Our democracy, economy, and way of life depend on quality public education that is accessible to every student.  An emphasis on academics, combined with the arts and social-emotional learning prepares students to be productive, responsible members of society with viable future options.  This broader definition of success for our students is key to the San Ramon Valley Unified School District's Strategic Directions, which I helped develop and strongly support.  To provide this level of education for all students, we need to provide learning environments that are flexible, responsive, and inclusive, which is the heart of the Equity Initiative. 

​

Electing trustees with proven leadership, experience, problem-solving skills, and compassion is intrinsic to the success of our public schools. For the past 20 years, I have listened to the needs of the community and earned the trust of constituents.  I have positively impacted how education is delivered in the SRVUSD.  As a board, we have provided total compensation for employees that is among the best in the area, while maintaining the district’s financial health and its credit position. 

​

Now, more than ever, we must elect leaders like myself with a proven record of working collaboratively and respectfully with all constituents.  My tenure makes me uniquely qualified to understand the big picture while remaining focused on local solutions that serve all students.
