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 Hazan 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.”
