“Oliver is a very knowledgeable board president and a passionate advocate for students."
I had the privilege of serving on a school board with Oliver for three years as we restructured salary schedules, navigated complex legal issues, hired a superintendent, and created additional avenues for student learning and community engagement under his leadership.
Oliver was always prepared, collaborative, decisive, and laser focused on keeping the distractions, political drama, and budget cuts far from students and teachers, and out of the classrooms.
Oliver is a passionate advocate for students and educators, and he protects them at all costs. As a result, Oliver has become more than a colleague, I am proud to call him my friend and an ally in improving education in CA.
