Candidate Statement

Hello WUSD Community,
I am honored to be one of your Wiseburn Unified School District (WUSD) Governing Board members. You elected me to protect and advance the quality of our Wiseburn education experience and I am committed to these responsibilities. I have served as WUSD Board President, Vice-President, currently serve as Board representative to the technology and budget committees and serve as vice president for the Local Public School Funding Authority Board.

As your fellow community member, I am a wife to my great husband Clayton, working mom of 4 sons, an aerospace professional, leadership consultant, former university lecturer and high school teacher, and active community member. I have a BA in Math, Education and Slavic Languages, and an MBA. As a bi-lingual first- generation descendant of immigrants, I was raised to be passionate about education, diversity, and community.

In this time of COVID-19 related challenges and concerns, our Wiseburn community is tackling unprecedented health and education decisions.
With participation from students, community members, teachers, district staff, and the school board, Wiseburn shaped these 5 Pillars of Excellence as the foundation to deliver lifelong learning in our Wiseburn schools:

  • Safety: Ensure a safe learning environment both physically and emotionally
  • Student-Centered: Respond to students’ academic and social/emotional strengths, needs, choices
  • Future Ready: Empower all students with positive views and self-confidence
  • Community & Collaboration: Model diversity, equity, and inclusion and honor these values
  • Organizational Strength: Implement effective organizational procedures and practices while diligently maintaining a strong financial position

Your vote for Joanne L. Kaneda continues my commitment to education, safety, diversity, fiscal integrity, and community partnership. Thank you.
