President’s Welcome

Greetings All!

As we look to the 2025-2026 school year, we have many opportunities to work together to serve the students of our county. I am excited for opportunities to innovate, improve learning, and ensure that all students have access to a high quality, equitable education.

As President of the San Mateo County School Boards Association I look forward to building upon the amazing work we have done over the last few years in addressing the needs of all of our students and formulating strategies on how to address the needs of our regional education institutions.

I look forward to strengthening existing partnerships and building new ones as we come together as a united county of school districts. My hope is that we find time to create deep and rich dialogue and collaboration in our county. Together, we can hold each other up through the continuing challenges to ensure that all students have access to a quality, equitable education.

Our fantastic Board of Directors is meeting at a summer retreat to plan out the year of professional development for our members and opportunities to form those crucial lines of communication across district lines. Our members are invited to join us. As a membership organization, we are privileged to have a wealth of knowledge available to us from other members and our County Office of Education. I hope that I have the opportunity to meet each of you at one of our upcoming SMCSBA events.

Thank you all for your dedication to our students.
