Why I'm Running

I’m running for School Board to give back to the community that has given us so much. I want to continue to create an educational experience for students to set them up for success and have an exceptional staff at the helm. I am committed to a transparent, high-integrity process that builds trust and will strive to provide an experience from the school board that I want as a parent, volunteer, taxpayer & community member

Community Involvement

Richard Yu Community Service
I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve in various capacities within the community. From leadership roles in the PTA, participation in Leadership Germantown, showing the next generations career options and giving kids high fives while sweating in a Raccoon costume, I have enjoyed every moment of it. If elected, I will continue to be an active member of the community and a friendly face at our schools.

Values & Beliefs

Community

Community

I believe that when we work together, we will achieve more for our students and our community. I am motivated to get people involved, break down even more walls and make us unstoppable
Education

Education

Education gives our children opportunities for success. I will strive to ensure that our students and teachers have the resources they need to succeed.
Integrity

Continued Integrity

Let's continue the transparency with decisions made, honesty and setting expectations for all. The general public isn't aware of the extensive time, effort and emotions that contribute to making the choices that affect our district. I will continue to uphold us to the highest standards
Fiscal Responsibility

Fiscal Responsibility

These are our taxes. Let's find the best value with the resources we have and be mindful of what the community has contributed to make our schools great
