Testimonial 1

Footer

<p>As a county board trustee and former local trustee, I know firsthand the traits that make for an ideal school board member. They include critical thinking, hard work, empathy, attention to detail, and a desire to do what is right for the entire community on all issues. Linda has those traits, and I know she will work hard for all Palo Alto students.</p>

<h6>Vice President, Santa Clara county Board of Education<br></h6>

<h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Jessica Speiser</span></h4>

<p>Linda brings an incredible depth of knowledge about PAUSD, built through years of dedicated service in so many different roles across our district. She understands how our schools work from multiple perspectives, listens thoughtfully, and always puts students first. Linda’s experience, steady leadership, and commitment to our community make her an exceptional choice for the Palo Alto School Board.</p>

<h6>President, Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board of Trustees</h6>

<h4>Terry Godfrey</h4>

<p>I have watched Linda be a very effective board member. She knows when to be supportive and when to push for something better, and that judgment will be so valuable on the PAUSD Board of Education. </p>
