PIEDMONTERS can vote for 3 candidates for School Board. I encourage voters to make Andrea Swenson one of their 3 votes. Andrea has the financial background needed to deal with ongoing complex budget issues. For 15 years Andrea has identified problems and brought groups together to solve them. Andrea united City and School District agencies through six months of preparation and on-site support during the first anti-drunk driving program at PHS, creating an enduring template for city-school partnerships. Andrea re-vamped and led the largest, most critical fundraiser for our schools: The Piedmont Giving Campaign, securing a record dollar amount to fund academic programs.
As President of Associated Parents Clubs of Piedmont, Piedmont High School, Piedmont Middle School and Wildwood School, Andrea managed parent club budgets and contributed to budget advisory committee discussions for 10 years, gaining a strong grasp of school funding and spending. Andrea organized community-building panel discussions on Civic Involvement and Civic Engagement for Piedmont LWV. Cleary, a task very well done because she is now in a contested election! Andrea comprehends the larger K through 12 picture. Her two children are recent graduates from Piedmont Schools. Andrea is able to make decisions with a tenured point of view.
Andrea helped develop The PIEDMONT PORTAL to improve how we convey information to parents and the broader community.
In 2010, Andrea received the Art Hecht Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of her service.
