Ava Chiao

for

Cupertino Union

School Board

As a teacher for more than 20 years, I’ve always had a heart for students. I know what it takes to help an individual child in a classroom because I’ve been doing that every day for years. Now I’m ready to take that expertise and apply it at the district level, implementing policy and looking strategically at the district. My unique perspective will bring an important voice of balance to the board to help make informed decisions for the community. I’m the only candidate on the board with teaching experience and can bring student voice to the board.

“There is no other choice than to elect a newcomer for the third open seat, so one new member will face a learning curve. We think a teacher’s perspective is needed to balance the parent perspectives that Liu and Madhathil bring. Chiao, a 19-year instructor, is the only candidate with classroom and curriculum experience – expertise that will lend itself to more effective district strategy and policymaking.” - LATC September 7th, 2022

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.

Priorities

Ensuring students' well-being is at the forefront of every board decision.

#WhenWeAllVote

Look for Ava Chiao on the November 8th, 2022 ballot. Cupertino Union School District Governing Board is a non-partisan race, so all eligible voters can vote.

Here, I am advocating at Capitol Hill in Sacramento, CA supporting public charter school accountability and transparency. For example, Assembly Bill 1505 requires charter school teachers to be teaching classes in which they are credentialed in.
