Endorsements

“Children across San Diego have faced significant social emotional and academic challenges during the pandemic. These unprecedented times require dynamic, forward-thinking, and student-centered leadership to ensure our schools equip students in every community with the education they need to reach their full potential. Shana is an effective and collaborative leader who has proven she is up for this challenge. Her unwavering commitment to our youngest community members is why she was my choice to advocate for young children and families on California’s First 5 Commission. Shana has dedicated her life to our community – from her work to build a stronger and healthier community at Jewish Family Service of San Diego, and grassroots leadership to transform Franklin Elementary School, to fighting for more opportunities for families on the city’s Human Relations Commission. Shana has earned my enthusiastic endorsement for School Board because I know she will continue to be a champion for San Diego Unified students, parents, and educators. 

Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins

“San Diego’s young people deserve leaders who will put the best interests of
students first — always. 
With her proven track record of effectively supporting children and families, Shana Hazan is exactly who our students deserve. 

She’ll be a powerful advocate who listens to the voices of families and builds a
stronger, healthier community for all of us.”

City Council President, Sean Elo-Rivera
 

“Shana is a fierce advocate for children and families. She leads with her heart and centers her decisions in what is right and just for our communities. I am proud to support Shana Hazan for San Diego Unified School Board.”
