By News Desk
Cahalan served as trustee since May 4th, 2015.
In a statement to our newsroom, he stated “It is time for me to step aside from the role of governance. My youngest will be graduating from PUSD at the end of this academic year, and I’ve always strongly believed that the PUSD Board of Education operates best when a majority of the members are those that have children actively in the district.”
Cahalan added:
I’d like to thank everyone who has participated in supporting the role of public education in California, and specifically in our district, during my tenure. I include board members past and present, district administrative staff, our labor partners, and the rank and file staff.
Most especially, I would like to thank our teachers and principals, who have done an excellent job of preparing my own two children for their lifelong journey of learning.
Cahalan went on to thank PEF and PEN, former and current parent leaders, and a “dictionary’s worth of other parents and friends…” He then thanked “everyone who joined their PTA unit, served as a PTA board member at a site, or served on PTA Council, or on PTA’s First District.” Cahalan concluded by thanking his two kids and his wife.
Election Day is next year, Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
