Smart Voter Full Biography for Shari Simon

Candidate for
Board Member; Moraga School District

This information is provided by the candidate

Since 2005, I have worked with members of our community and on a variety of school and district-wide councils to improve school quality. As past MEF President and serving on the Executive board, I helped to raise over $7 million for programs that elevate academic achievement and enrich the educational experience of all Moraga students.

If elected, I will apply the results-oriented, on-time and on-budget approach that I developed in my 10+ years of budget-management experience as an executive at Oracle.
