I’m Charlie Chu, and I’m asking for your vote to continue as a member of the Gladstone School Board.
Currently, I’m a stay at home father proudly supporting my son, an energetic 3rd grader, and my spouse, a certified nurse midwife. Previously, I’ve spent over a decade in comics as an editor and executive, helping to publish comic books and graphic novels for readers of all kinds.
Selected for my seat in 2022, and having the opportunity to participate on both equity and budget committees, my experience has made me grateful for the teachers and administrators who have dedicated themselves to educating our children, and I share our common goal of growing great people.
Our district faces many challenges, and I’m excited to facilitate the ongoing collaboration between our schools and community by making sure all our families and students feel seen and are given the resources to live up to their full potential.
My priorities:
- The safety and security of our students and their education without danger, disruption, or distraction.
- Strengthening our district commitment to equity and inclusion by committing to ongoing equity work and applying our equity lens to all board business.
- Balancing the goals of attendance and academic achievement with social-emotional learning and mental well-being.
Our community is strongest when we can raise our students to become happy and productive citizens of the world, while allowing them to be rooted as their true individual, authentic selves.
Please join me in supporting the continued success of the Gladstone School District with your vote.
