Joel Woods

San Ramon Valley School Board

For more than twenty years, I have called the San Ramon Valley home. I have seen firsthand how exceptional public schools strengthen our community and create opportunities for our students.

My experience working within local classrooms has also given me a firsthand understanding of the challenges teachers, substitute teachers, staff, and students face every day.

I’m running for SRVUSD Governing Board Member, Area 5 because I believe strong schools require strong academics, supported educators, responsible financial management, and leadership that listens.

I believe teachers deserve a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their classrooms. Parents and students deserve to be heard. And taxpayers deserve transparency about how our resources are being used.

Most importantly, every decision should come back to one question:

Why I'm Running

For more than twenty years, I have called the San Ramon Valley home, and I have seen firsthand the difference exceptional public schools make in the lives of our students, families, and our entire community.

Our schools are one of the reasons this is such a special place to live. I’m running for the SRVUSD Governing Board, Area 5 because I want to help protect that excellence and make sure it continues for the next generation.

I believe our School Board should listen to the people closest to our schools, make thoughtful and responsible decisions, and never lose sight of who we are here to serve.

For me, it always comes back to our students and their future.
