Q&Amp;A with School Board Candidate Susy Struble


credit: veteransnewsnow

Susy Struble is running for a seat on the Piedmont Union School District Board of Education in Northern California, and she's making a point to say she's not running for the money.

"I'm running for the kids," she tells the San Francisco Chronicle.

"I'm running for the kids because I love my kids and I want them to have a good education."

Struble, a mother of three, says she's running because she wants to "build trust across our school communities" and "to ensure that Piedmont remains a desirable place for young families by demonstrating that it is a town and school community that will care for their children as if they were its own."

If elected, she says she'll work to "ensure that PUSD continues to attract talented teachers; developing a comprehensive, resourced approach to student wellness and community building that recognizes the links to academic achievement; and addressing the needs of our diverse student body."

She says she has "areas of personal interest, like generative AI and education," as well as "building learning opportunities for critical thinking and community building around 'big questions and issues' in ways that could bring in more Piedmonters students, parents, and townspeople."
