Issues
on the front lines
While
some jumped right into electoral politics, Laura Canciamilla chose
different path. For nearly 35 years, she’s been on the front
lines of public education. Her focus has been to help underperforming
schools develop better ways to prepare students for college, and
meaningful careers. But in our public schools and in our community,
Laura saw first hand how political decisions can stand in the
way of good public policy.
Laura Canciamilla has worked as a teacher, a school
counselor, and a high school principal. Laura has a Masters Degree
and a Doctorate in Education. She also spent years working with
the Association of California School Administrators, coordinating
services to underperforming schools throughout California. She
worked directly with parents, teachers, and administrators who
were dedicated to improving student achievement.
In 2004, Dr. Canciamilla was elected to the Pittsburg
School Board where she’s able to share her experience and
expertise with her community. She currently serves on the Delegate
Assembly of the California School Boards Association and is committed
to advocating on behalf of education in California.
making things better
A
dedication to public service. That’s what Laura shared with
many other young people when they heard President Kennedy challenge
their generation to give back to their communities. And that’s
why Laura became a teacher, a counselor, and a school principal.
Dr. Canciamilla has been proud of her successes,
but wants to do more. She sees the Legislature, in an effort to
meet the needs of such a large state, fall short in meeting the
needs of individual communities – not only in education,
but in healthcare, and the environment. Laura knows that she’ll
be able to stand up to the special interests that stand in the
way of good public policy by the Legislature.
