VOTE JOHN CRAIG
For collaborative & transparent schools that deliver for students & families
Dear neighbors,
​
My wife, Jenny, and I are public school graduates, and today we're raising a 7th grader in Palo Alto's public schools. I am running because every student deserves an exceptional education, and every family deserves a district that is accountable and transparent to families at every level. I come from a family of educators, judges and journalists who taught me the value of learning, integrity, asking difficult questions and taking action. The elected Board must rebuild trust through action and accountability.
​
Palo Alto sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, with extraordinary resources, great families, and great teachers. I have seen how much our students accomplish and how much more they would if parents, students, teachers, and administrators collaborate more effectively. We need to improve the culture in Palo Alto schools, and I’m ready to do the hard work to make that happen.
​
I offer independent judgment, results-oriented executive discipline, a parent’s perspective, and a willingness to speak up and solve difficult problems. Together, we can build schools that deliver for every student and earn our community’s confidence. Your vote is a sacred trust, and I would be honored to uphold it.
​
With gratitude,
