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. I don’t presume to have easy answers to these complicated issues, but I do have the network and communication skills to foster an open dialog with the district, the cities and the parents of LVUSD.
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. Developing 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 and PSAT’s at Agoura. I also helped to keep parents informed after the Woolsey fire.
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 have the experience, relationships, and determination to represent you. Please vote for me in November and allow me to serve you as your informed and experienced voice at LVUSD.
