Sandy Erickson for

Soquel Union School District Trustee Nothing Changes unless we vote to change it!

As a district trustee, my goals are to: 1) Ensure Financial resources go first to the students, then faculty, staff, and finally administration.

2) Stop the cycle created by appointed trustees.

3) Restore the public’s trust in the Soquel School Board.

“I am an experienced leader with six years on the California Board of Registered Nursing, four years as president. I served 29 years in the U.S. Air Force on active duty and in the reserves and hold the rank of Colonel. I am a practicing registered nurse with over 30 years of management experience.”
