Protecting Education
Since my election to the Assembly in 2008, I have traveled all across the 15th district; from Walnut Creek to Livermore, from Oakley and Brentwood to Elk Grove and Galt, meeting with parents, educators, administrators and students to hear their stories about the impacts of recent education cuts. These informal “Classroom Cabinet” meetings keep me well informed about the issues and guide many of the education related bills I introduce and support.
As a mother, a former school board member and your Assemblymember, I am fully committed to fighting for our schools.
SACRAMENTO - Assemblymember Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo) was honored Monday evening at the annual San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) dinner in Danville, CA. The honor recognizes Assemblymember Buchanan’s 18 years of distinguished service on the San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board, prior to her election to the Assembly.
“Joan’s on-going service and commitment to our students and schools is remarkable. The foundation is thrilled to honor her 18 years as a school board member,” said Vanessa Chan, Executive Director of the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation.
Each year the SRVEF honors an individual for his/her exceptional dedication to the students of the San Ramon Valley. An advocate for children, Buchanan has been one of the San Ramon Valley's most effective community activists. During her 18 years of service on the SRVUSD Board, she led a turn around of the schools finances and her expertise in budgeting put the district on solid financial footing. She also spearheaded the facilities bond programs and master plans that have built state-of-the-art schools.
“For over 25 years, the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation has provided support to our local schools, with many community leaders serving on its board,” said Buchanan. “I am proud of what we have accomplished in the district by working together and I am honored to be recognized by individuals for whom I have tremendous respect.”
