Jennifer Grisham FOR MVUSD SCHOOL BOARD — TRUSTEE AREA 3
General Election — November 3, 2026

Not a politician.
Real Parent.
Real Concerns.
Real Change.

I'm running for MVUSD School Board, not as a career politician, but as a parent and dedicated community volunteer. Through years of working alongside other parents in our district, I've listened closely to concerns about our schools, and I share many of the same concerns. I'm stepping up because I believe real, meaningful change is possible when parents themselves have a voice at the table. I'm committed to fighting for policies that support every student in our community.

What this campaign is about

District resources have been mismanaged for too long. We can do better.

My candidacy is focused on three points.

  • Address bullying

    Too many students still dread unsupervised time at school, or the bus ride home. I'll push for clear reporting systems, accountability for repeat incidents, and training that helps staff intervene early.

  • Pull back on classroom apps

    Every new app promises engagement, but too often it's nothing more than data collection and ineffective learning, leading to kids who can't sit with a book or a hard problem anymore. I'll advocate for fewer, better-vetted digital tools and more time for direct instruction and hands-on learning.

  • Measure what matters

    State testing shouldn't define our schools. I want our district to prioritize curiosity, critical thinking, and well-rounded educational experiences — not scores on a spreadsheet.

What makes Jennifer different?

I don't get my information just from district reports and administrators. I know what's really happening because my family has lived it for eleven years of having kids in MVUSD schools, and eleven years of being involved parents and volunteers. Board members who do not have students in the district don't have the same experience. — Jennifer Grisham
