Hello! My name is Christina Pritchett. I am a volunteer and most importantly a parent within our district.

Lisa Murawski is a mom, a proud product of public schools, and a fiscal and policy adviser to legislative leaders in the state Capitol.

Darrel Woo
2nd Vice President, Board of Education, Area 6
Trustee Darrel Woo is serving in his second four year term. As the son of a Chinese immigrant, Trustee Woo learned early the importance of education as a means to succeed in America. From birth, the importance of a college education was not only instilled in him, but his parents served as examples of the quality of life that a college education can bring. The education that Trustee Woo earned, all the way through the University of California at Berkeley, was public.

Chinua Rhodes
Board of Education Member, Area 5
Hi, I’m Chinua Rhodes. I’m a Father of 5, a Community Organizer, and your Trustee. I grew up right here in South Sacramento, and I’m a product of Sac City Schools. While in high school, my father, who organized for Pico California, showed me that collective effort for change is possible and that everyday working people are the key to the city’s success and well-being. These lessons led me to coordinate programs and grants supporting thousands of Sacramento youth and families and organizing around housing and youth justice initiatives.
