Additionally, I <br /> have a lot of experience in the education space with early childhood education and juvenile <br /> justice. I also served on the 2016 bond committee. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I believe this bond is incredibly important for our community and students. While it is not going to <br /> solve all of our need it will make a large dent in it. My experience in community engagement and <br /> voter education would be a huge benefit to the committee. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> Given the roles I have held will promote the perspectives of our BIPOC community, residents <br /> who have deep connections to our schools, and ensure resident representation for Northern <br /> Orange, which has school buildings that are some of the oldest in Orange County. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br />
