After serving in the school district for 15 years as a Parent Faculty Club President, Treasurer, measure oversight committee member and founder of a non-profit to represent the parent’s voice in California schools, I am now running for LVUSD School Board.
I am uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between our schools, students, parents, and community. I see a need for better communication between the school district and the cities it serves. I am committed to an open dialog with the community before making major decisions like fencing our schools and ending our joint use agreements. As a champion for schools, I will work with our cities to build and maintain support for school programs including PFC/PFA grants, crossing guards, and school site counselors.
As a Parent Faculty Club President, I spent years as the liaison between parents and the school district. I represented both Lupin Hill and Agoura High School and developed close relationships with Teachers, Principals, and staff. I learned to look at issues through many lenses. I wrestled with continually increasing PFC budgets and the never-ending requests for donations from our parents. I tackled issues like resources for music, art and science at Lupin and college counselors Career Technical Education and PSAT’s at Agoura.
In the short time since my children graduated, so much has changed. The pandemic has created a real societal shift. What we need is someone who is open-minded, thoughtful, and willing to listen to students, teachers, administrators, and parents. We need someone who can see all sides and make decisions for the common good. But ultimately, a School Board Member represents the students, and the parents of LVUSD. You need an experienced volunteer, community member, and parent to represent you in the district.
I don’t presume to have easy answers, but I do have the network and communication skills to foster an open dialog with the district, the cities and the parents of LVUSD. Please vote for me in November and allow me to serve you as your informed and experienced voice at LVUSD.
