Governing Board

Parents are invited to submit their interest in open positions on the Governing Board in early April.  Candidates submit a letter of interest by a deadline set at the end of April.  Ballots are then sent home to all families (one vote per family) and are dropped off in the office before school during the first week in May. Ballots are publicly counted in the office.  Results are announced via email, posted on the website, and on the school Facebook page.

I’ve lived in the town of Paradise for almost 50 years.  I raised 3 children who attended Paradise Schools, were involved in the arts, and school sports.  My entire career has been in the field of education: school secretary, day care provider, teacher, and I have a Masters Degree in Education

I was born and raised in Paradise and attended the public schools in town. I currently work for REACH Air Medical as a Flight Paramedic on a helicopter, and I am also a volunteer firefighter with Butte County Fire Company 33. After the Camp Fire I moved to chico. My daughter began attending TK at CCCS while located in chico and we gladly continued at CCCS when the Paradise Campus reopened. This year we moved back to the ridge after purchasing a House in Magalia. I’m very excited to serve the school and the community as a member of the CCCS School Board.
