Hi. I’m Kathleen.
I’m a solo mother to three amazing children and the Trustee for Glendale Unified School Board, Area C.
I work every day to bring accessibility, positivity, and excellence to GUSD!
Board Meetings 2024-2025
GUSD Board Meetings are usually held every other Tuesday. Anyone may attend in person or watch online. Meetings are always recorded and archived, and Board agendas and reports are always available for the public to read.
I encourage all stakeholders - parents, students, and community members - to bring commendations, concerns, and ideas to me by emailing my official GUSD account.
We are now officially into the 2025-2026 school year.
Board meetings will be posted here once the full schedule is available.
