Boulder Valley School District RE-2 Director District G (2023)
I am voting for Jorge Chávez. Of all the candidates running in 2023, perhaps no one has more direct experience or a stronger background for the BVSD board than Jorge.
Jorge is an Associate Professor in the Human Development and Family Relations program, and has served as chair of the District Accountability Committee (DAC) for two years. In that role, as he puts it himself he has “advised the District Administration and the Board of Education on budget, policy, data transparency, unified improvement plans, diversity, equity and inclusion, mental health resources, school safety and climate, school discipline, and long-term planning,”. Jorge will bring both incredible knowledge and a passion for social and racial equity to the next BVSD board.
Jorge is endorsed by Boulder Progressives, Boulder Weekly, and the Boulder Valley Education Association.
I also want to note that out of the ten candidates running this year, three are candidates of color, all living in District G. Stuart Lord is another candidate running in the district who would also bring an important voice to the board. I think BVSD should consider additional election reforms that ensure we have broader representation than we currently have.
District G includes Lafayette. Candidates must live within district boundaries, but voters will select candidates from all four BVSD districts that have elections in 2023.
