Bringing Experience to Leadership
"As the retired superintendent of Santa Rosa City Schools, I was drawn back to Sonoma County Office of Education by Amie's platform on equity and access. There is still important work to be done, and under Amie's leadership, we are headed in the right direction. Let's keep that momentum going for all Sonoma County's students."

Amie's Top Priorities for Schools

1
Safety
Safety is the foundation for effective teaching, learning, and thriving school communities. In Sonoma County, ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of students and staff is critical to maintaining strong, inclusive classrooms where every child can succeed. Safe schools build trust, support academic success, and strengthen the future of our entire community.

Access
Every student in Sonoma County deserves access to a high-quality education, regardless of background, zip code, or circumstance. True educational access means removing barriers, closing opportunity gaps, and ensuring that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed. When we champion access for all, we build a stronger, more equitable future for our entire community.

Opportunity
Expanding opportunity must be a top priority for Sonoma County schools — whether through college pathways, career technical education (CTE), the arts, or real-world career preparation. Every student deserves the chance to discover their passions, develop their talents, and build a future full of possibility. Investing in diverse opportunities empowers students to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
