“I had the pleasure of working with Karen when she was the Vice President of Ways and Means for the Westlake High School PTSA where she earned the respect of parents, teachers, and administrators. When she announced her candidacy to serve on the CVUSD board four years ago, I knew that she had the right combination of skills, background, and relationships to be an excellent choice and I endorsed her. She has proven to be a strong and effective Trustee in very difficult times. I am so glad that she is willing to serve again.”
