School Boards Recognition Month Observed By San Ramon Valley Unified

DANVILLE, CA — January is School Boards Recognition Month, a time to honor the Board of Education Trustees who play a key role in the success of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

SRVUSD is proud to join local educational agencies in recognizing the contributions of board members during School Boards Recognition Month, district officials said Wednesday in a news release. As schools work to accelerate learning and support student wellness post-pandemic, board members play a key role in setting the foundation, policies and priorities to support optimal student outcomes.

"Board members are our elected representatives and a vital link between the school district and the community," said Dr. John Malloy, SRVUSD superintendent. "The board set clear Strategic Directions for the district and continues to support our students and staff by directing resources where they are most needed and ensuring accountability by monitoring progress toward goals."

There are six trustees in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District:

• Laura Bratt, president
• Shelley Clark, vice president
• Susanna Ordway, clerk
• Jesse vanZee, member
• Rachel Hurd, member
• Anya Ayyappan, student board member

At the Board of Education meeting in December, trustees voted on the annual reorganization of board member roles. The board also expressed its sincere appreciation and gratitude for outgoing President Rachel Hurd’s year of service and welcomed Laura Bratt to serve as the new board president.

"I hope our entire community will join me in thanking our incredibly hard-working board members for their support and commitment to the students, staff and families of SRVUSD and their dedication to the region as a whole," Superintendent Malloy said.
