Yarma said:
I believe in the power of public education to transform the lives of students and our community. We need proactive leadership and board members who have current and direct experience with the schools engaged in the future of our community. As a mother and educator, I will provide leadership that is responsive to our community, fight for education equity, and stand up for students, teachers, and staff to have a safe healthy environment to thrive.
