Leadership, governance & public service

Leadership grounded
in service.

From local school boards to statewide educational leadership, a commitment to thoughtful governance, public engagement, and community opportunity.

Statewide leadership

A voice in California education governance.

Kathryn Grossman Ramirez served on the California School Boards Association Board of Directors, contributing to statewide discussions about education policy, effective governance, and the responsibilities of public school boards.

Her statewide service complemented years of experience as an elected school board trustee and a commitment to connecting community perspectives with policy decisions.

Kathryn served on the Salinas Union High School District and Salinas City Elementary School District boards. Her board experience includes education policy, budget stewardship, student programs, community engagement, and public accountability.

Her work reflects an understanding of governance at both the local and statewide levels.
