“I believe that public schools play a central role - if not the central role - in the creation of a vibrant and successful society.”
— Lisa Powell
September 2026 Update: Despite planning all summer for a re-election campaign, no one ran against me - thus, I will NOT be on the ballot in November!
I am thrilled to have another 4 years as a CVUSD Trustee - please do not hesitate to reach out at any time. And - please support our schools.
COre beliefs
I believe that our public schools play an integral role in our community: cultivating the young people in our society is paramount.
As an active community member, I view the Trustee role as the best way for me to serve my community at this time.
My extensive experience in both public schools and our community has provided a unique insight into District issues.
