Jackie R. Kruger

As a second-generation Beverly Hills resident whose life has been woven into the community for more than three decades, I'm thrilled to be running for the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education. I graduated from Beverly Hills High School, and all three of my children are products of BHUSD. I have been a hands-on advocate for students. I've served as a room mom, PTA member, graduation committee member, and principal advisory committee member. I've organized and chaperoned field trips that took high schoolers to Europe, middle schoolers to Washington, D.C., STEM students to Space Camp, and Academic Decathlon competitors to Northern California. I'm running because our school board has lost the community's trust, and our kids are paying the price. The board's focus must be our kids, not political or personal agendas. Every dollar must go to classrooms, not board member travel and layers of new administrators. My priorities are clear: 1) RESTORE TRUST THROUGH OPEN, ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE. 2) KEEP CAMPUSES SAFE & HEALTHY IN THE METRO ERA. 3) DELIVER ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE TO MAKE BHUSD #1. I've lived BHUSD, as a student, a parent, and a volunteer. Now I am ready to serve it. www.krugerforbhusd.com
