Candidate profile: Stephanie Olson emphasizes special-education experience and community leadership
Summary
Stephanie Olson, a Mountain House resident and special-education teacher with five children in district schools, told the board she values "servant leadership" and prioritized closing opportunity and achievement gaps and building district schools.
Stephanie Olson, one of two candidates interviewed Nov. 13 for a provisional board seat, told trustees she has lived in Mountain House since 2007 and has five children who have attended or are attending schools in the district. "I'm Stephanie Olson, and I have lived in Mountain House since 2007," she said during her interview, listing volunteer roles including PTO president and booster-club leadership.
Olson described her professional background as including a master's in language acquisition and work as a special-education teacher and attorney; she said those experiences help her with "issue spotting" and reviewing dense documents. She told the board she would prioritize the district’s LCAP goals, including closing opportunity and achievement gaps, ensuring high-quality first-time instruction, and continuing the district’s school-building efforts.
