April's Plan

School Board Members have a duty to meet students and families where they are and to lead by setting a positive example for our kids. That's why April regularly volunteers in Hayward classrooms and meets with students, caretakers, teachers, staff, and community members to listen and to learn what's needed most to improve our schools in Hayward. April works hard to close  the opportunity gap for our students because they deserve every opportunity to thrive.

#oquenda4opportunity acknowledges that serious commitment to equity and antiracism work are necessary  to achieve social justice in our educational community.
