I’m a Special Education Teacher of 10 years who has worked every day to ensure our most vulnerable students get the best education they deserve. I became a teacher to ensure struggling students have a pathway to lifelong success. In Santa Clara County, we need more early opportunities for learning, parent education and  engagement, wellness centers and support staff, and the funding to provide these services. The Santa Clara County Board of Education is a fiduciary board, an appellate board, and a provider of educational services for special education students, justice involved-youth, foster youth and youth in transition.

 

As your Trustee, I will work with the office of education to hold the district accountable by prioritizing the educational needs of our most formable students. When students with disabilities and socio-economic disadvantages are supported with services and staff to help them achieve academically, all students are successful!
