The Portola Valley School District’s governing board on Nov. 6 appointed district parent and active volunteer Brooke Day to fill out the remaining two years of a board term that originally came open when Jennifer Youstra resigned in September.
Ms. Day has a child in third grade at Ormondale School, where she has served as the president and vice president of the Parent Teacher Organization, as a chair of home room parents and the breakfast club, and as a home room parent. She has also spent four years as a music leader working with more than 80 children ages 3-11 at her church.
She is a former human resources and recruitment professional in the high-tech industry where, Ms. Day said in her application, she had “built, developed and helped maintain high functioning, cohesive teams.”
“I thrive in a team environment and enjoy helping to build and guide the future direction of teams,” she wrote.
Three important upcoming district projects Ms. Day singled out in her application are:
● Communicating about and enlisting support for the district’s facilities master plan.
● Hiring and developing great district leaders.
● Following through on the district’s current strategic plan and updating the plan, which goes through 2018.
Jeff Klugman, Karyn Bechtel and Mike Maffia were elected Nov. 7 to fill three open school board seats. Because Mr. Klugman had been appointed in October to fill the remaining two years of Ms. Youstra’s term, he had to resign from the appointed seat to take his elected seat.
Gulliver La Valle, who was elected two years ago, is the only veteran board member. He was elected board president at the Nov. 6 meeting.
