This upcoming Election Day, I support and will vote for Dr. Chialin Hsieh for the SSFUSD trustee area I used to represent (Area C, roughly between Junipero Serra and ECR). Dr. Hsieh is a compassionate educator and parent whose data-driven skills have proven invaluable to our kids' learning.

Professional Announcement: In August, I filed paperwork to run for the San Mateo County Office of Education's Board. Because no other candidate completed their paperwork, come mid-December, I will represent SSF and San Bruno on the SMCOE Board!

I’ve spent the last few weeks attending meetings, reaching out to current SMCOE employees and board members, and reading up on the particular conditions of being a County school board member. I am discovering it will be somewhat different than what I experienced on the SSFUSD Board, but I am learning.

One of my children was a student in a SMCOE program when they were younger and I am grateful for the efforts of SMCOE educators. I will continually strive to represent families unfamiliar with workings of the special services, court, and community schools ran by SMCOE.

A great step forward for local workforce housing which can be emulated elsewhere: San Mateo County Office of Education buys existing apartment building, and as residents naturally move, educators will be replacing them at reduced rents. https://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/apartment-building-acquired-for-educator-workforce-housing-housing-endowment-and-regional-trust-of-san-mateo/article_7bded96b-81aa-4ae4-9854-a6a876026a9a.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share via San Mateo Daily Journal
