Jennifer Chen — AUHSD Governing Board Trustee, Area 3

Our students are the heart of this community.

The filing deadline has passed, and no one else filed to run for AUHSD’s Trustee Area 3 board seat. That means I’ll remain seated and continue serving our community on the AUHSD Governing Board.

More than 80 people across our AUHSD community endorsed my campaign. So many of you donated, volunteered, shared posts, opened doors for me, or simply told me you were behind me. I’m deeply grateful for the trust and support you’ve shown me.

Now I get to focus my energy on something incredibly important for our students and schools: passing the AUHSD parcel tax, Measure W, this November.

Our schools face a critical gap between the funding we receive and what it costs to maintain the educational excellence our community expects. Measure W will provide locally controlled funding for Acalanes, Campolindo, Las Lomas, Miramonte, and ACIS for the next eight years.

Passing Measure W will take a two-thirds vote. Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing more about what the measure funds, the safeguards and accountability built into it, and how our community can help.

Our work for students is far from over. Let’s keep at it, together.

Sincerely,

Jennifer

An illustrated scene showing three people involved in a campaign or election event. One woman in a yellow shirt with a name tag that reads Jennifer Chen is holding a plant with green leaves and blue hearts. A man in a dark suit is placing a gold coin with a dollar sign into a blue box labeled 'Re-elect Jennifer Chen,' which is topped with a pile of gold coins. The background features a large campaign sign with the name Jennifer Chen, and the sign mentions the AUHSD Governing Board Trustee Area 3. The scene is cheerful and symbolic of campaign fundraising or support.

Stability and Experience for AUHSD

Every dollar of this campaign came from neighbors, parents, teachers, and community members who believe AUHSD is worth protecting. Your contribution, large or small, helps keep our schools strong and our community engaged in their future.
