Parent
I met Lesli when our kids started kindergarten together. I have known quite a few “politicians,” but none as passionate or well-informed about the issues facing our schools as Lesli. I am thrilled she is now focusing her incredible skill set on issues so important to our kids’ education and our community, and confident she will listen carefully to her constituency and forge great partnerships between educators, parents and LVUSD administrators. — Katie Wohn
