biography
 Community
service and problem solving have been the central themes of Laura
Canciamilla's career. She attended Mt. Diablo schools and was
an active student at Ygnacio Valley High School. She then attended
Stanford University on a scholarship and worked as a resident
advisor, helping fellow students adjust to college life. Canciamilla
worked as a high school English teacher, counselor, site administrator,
and district office administrator during her more than 30 years
of working in schools. During that time she also spent four years
working with the Association of California School Administrators,
coordinating services to underperforming schools throughout the
state. She assisted parents, teachers, and administrators who
were working hard to improve student achievement.
In 2004, Canciamilla campaigned for the Pittsburg School Board
to share her experience and skills with her home community. She
was the top vote getter in that election. She currently serves
on the Delegate Assembly of the California School Boards Association
and is committed to advocating on behalf of education in California.
Canciamilla is running for the Assembly to bring the same public
service and problem solving commitment to Sacramento. She will
focus on education, fiscal responsibility, job skills and training,
and the need for vital community services — healthcare,
transportation, and safety.
