Dana Tom Elected to School Board on November 8!
My sincerest thanks to all my supporters and volunteers.  Congratulations to Claude Ezran, Barb Mitchell, and Steve Mullen for running issue-oriented and positive campaigns.  Palo Altans are passionate about education and I've enjoyed my discussions with so many of you.  I will continue that dialogue as I represent you on the school board.



I am running for a seat on the Palo Alto Unified School District Board of Education, and I ask for your support.

Our public schools are the pride of Palo Alto, yet they also face challenges. As a successful high tech engineer and manager, past elementary school PTA president, and youth sports coach, I know I can help.

I stand for :

  • Fiscal Stewardship
  • First-Rate Teaching and Learning
  • Teamwork and Communication

It will be a privilege to represent you as we chart our schools' future together.
