Review April's Favorite Papers on Education & Testimonials from the Community

DAN WALDEN - Trustee, Walnut Creek School District

"I actually knew of April's leadership qualities before she joined the MDUSD Board. From Pleasanton, she and Trustee Juanita Haugen worked together on partnerships benefitting PUSD. Juanita spoke of how lucky we were to have April in our area. April is truly a courageous leader for children and their education."

JUDY MOON - Contra Costa County of the Year

"Treece continues to work diligently with industry to build collaborative support and broad opportunities for all students in Contra Costa County. I challenge you to research her record, then make your choice based on what she has done rather than what you might hear."
