Spaid launches re-election campaign for Placer Union High School District Board

Jessica Spaid, president of the Placer Union High School District Board of Trustees, announced she is running for re-election to continue her work strengthening academic excellence, increasing transparency, improving school safety, supporting students with special needs and ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Spaid was elected to the board in 2022 and currently serves as board president. A longtime Auburn resident, small business owner, wife of a retired law enforcement officer and mother of five sons, including one serving in the United States Army, Spaid said her campaign will remain focused on putting students first and strengthening the partnership between parents, educators and the community. "Serving our students, families, teachers, staff and community has been one of the greatest privileges of my life," Spaid said. "Over the past four years, we have made meaningful progress to increase transparency, improve school safety, support academic achievement and ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly. I am proud of that work, but there is more to do." Spaid said her re-election campaign focuses on students first, parent partnership, academic excellence, transparency and accountability and safe schools. "Parents are essential partners in their children's education, and students succeed when families and educators work together," Spaid said. "Our schools should prepare every student for life after graduation, whether their path leads to college, career training, military service or the workforce." Spaid begins her re-election campaign with support from a broad coalition of federal, state, county, local and education leaders, and has earned support from local school board trustees and education leaders throughout the region. "Jessica has been a strong voice for students, parents, transparency and accountability," said Assemblyman Joe Patterson. "She brings the kind of steady, thoughtful leadership our schools need." Spaid will officially launch her campaign with a kickoff event on Thursday, June 25, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Monkey Cat in Auburn. "I am running to continue building strong schools, expanding opportunities for students and making sure Placer Union High School District remains focused on what matters most: our children, our schools and our future," Spaid said. "I would be honored to earn the community's support once again." For more information, to endorse, volunteer or contribute, visit JessicaSpaid.com.
