Meet Sarah
A neighbor who does the homework
Experience is useful when voters can see how it connects to the job.
For the past five years, I have served on Murdock Elementary PTA’s Executive Board, working alongside parents and educators to support and strengthen our school community. I led fundraising efforts that raised more than $500,000 to support educational programs and student enrichment the district could not otherwise provide. This experience has given me a firsthand understanding of both the challenges our schools face and the power of community.
As a former teacher, I understand the needs of students, families, and educators. I believe our district deserves leadership that values transparency and fiscal responsibility, while keeping students at the center of every decision. I will work to connect the realities of our school campuses with district leadership, making thoughtful, collaborative decisions grounded in integrity, accountability, and student success. I would be honored to earn your vote.
