SPOTLIGHT ON: Jessica Foscolo

Public education can be the most powerful tool we have to create social mobility, a strong community and engage the next generation. I am seeking election because our district needs brave and creative board leaders that will help restore the trust and relationship between parents, faculty, students, and the administration. I believe I am such a leader that is both capable and energized to address the many critical issues facing our district today and the years ahead.
