The Woodland School District Board of Directors consists of five school board members, elected by ballot by the registered voters of the district. Except as otherwise provided by law, board members hold office for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified. The terms of board members are staggered as provided by law.
The school board acts as the policy-making body of the district and is responsible and accountable for planning, policy, advocacy, and evaluation. Working within a framework of state and federal laws, the board provides direction for the district, approving policies, making financial decisions, determining building needs, and approving the budget. The board regularly reviews the progress of the district.

It is an honor to serve as superintendent of the Woodland Public Schools since 2007. Woodland has been a great place for my own children to grow and learn. It is a community that I have grown to love and am proud to call it my home. My driving goal is to see our school board vision become a reality for each child.
My adult working life has been committed to public education. I am passionate about the purpose, mission, and work of public schools as a pillar of our democracy. I have taught in a one-room schoolhouse in a remote Alaskan village, taught first-grade in the Puget Sound area, and served as an elementary principal, assistant superintendent, and superintendent.
I hold a Bachelors's degree in Business, a Bachelors's degree in education, and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. I have completed extensive post-graduate education and hold a superintendent’s certificate.
I am married and together we are parents to two great kids. A daughter who graduated from Woodland High School in 2015 and a son who graduated with the class of 2017.
