"A capable and energetic leader who always gets the job done." Annie Ying, Friends of the Saratoga Library Volunteer, Former SMB Volunteer and Former Girl Scouts Leader
"I first met Ramya Vasu when she entered my parent/toddler class as a new parent with her daughter. Her eagerness to learn about child development was apparent from the start. Because of her obvious passion for life-long learning, it was no surprise that she went on to study child development and education at an advanced level and become a professional educator. She is very well-versed in the latest research on child development and education, and makes use of this knowledge in her unwavering support of children and families. Through all the years I’ve known Ramya, the main thing that shines through is her passionate interest in understanding best practices in education. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to be a school board member!" Annie Deckert, Director - Explorer Preschool
"I strongly endorse Ramya Vasu for School Board. Ramya is a dedicated advocate for students and parents in our schools. Her willingness to listen, speak up and have necessary conversations at administrative and Board levels, has already resulted in significant positive changes at our campuses. Our school community benefits from Ramya's strong voice that seeks academic excellence and support for all students. Ramya will make an outstanding addition to our School Board." Rosalia Warren, Elementary School, Middle School and High School Parent
"It is my greatest pleasure to endorse an authentic student advocate to hold a position of extreme trust. Ms. Vasu, better known as Ramya, has definitely walked the talk and fully understands what needs to be done to improve any area of the Saratoga Union School District." Alicia de Fuentes, Parent Volunteer
“Having volunteered with Ramya extensively over the past seven years in multiple capacities, I am in a position to wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy for SUSD school board. Whatever she sets her mind to, she does exceedingly well. She has high standards, never takes short-cuts, and inspires others with her enthusiasm, energy and dedication. Her background in both finance and education along with her dedication to children and our community, make her uniquely qualified to understand and be able to address the issues confronting our district, to hold it accountable for providing the best education to our students, and to provide a vision for it going forward." Karen Fredericks, RMS and SHS Parent Volunteer, Girl Scouts Leader and Community Volunteer
"Ramya is a knowledgeable and energetic public servant committed to Saratoga. I have known Ramya for the last ten years through her work at Saratoga Elementary School PTA, Saratoga Girl Scouts, Saratoga Music Boosters, the Arts Commission and the Saratoga Village Gardeners. She brings experience and enthusiasm to the role and will be a valuable advocate representing our community to the Saratoga Unified School Board." Martha Phillips, High School Parent, Girl Scout Leader and Community Volunteer
"Ramya has been an incredible support to me, especially evident through her efforts in our recent silent auction. She personally visited numerous businesses in Saratoga and Los Gatos to solicit their support and secure donations, demonstrating her dedication and ability to mobilize community resources. Additionally, Ramya played a crucial role in setting up the silent auction site, ensuring that everything was organized and ran smoothly. Her proactive and collaborative approach in this endeavor reflects the same qualities she will bring to the SUSD Board. With her visionary approach, Ramya is committed to advocating for equitable access to quality education, fostering a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, and supporting our dedicated teachers. She also emphasizes the importance of transparent and responsible use of district resources. Ramya’s experience and versatility make her an outstanding candidate, and I wholeheartedly support her election to the SUSD Board." Dongni Chen, Parent Volunteer
“As a fellow member of the Saratoga Music Boosters, I have seen the passion and energy that Ramya has for our children and our community. I have no doubt that if elected Ramya will be a forceful voice of reason and pragmatism, and she has my 100% support for election to the SUSD School Board!”
Josh Rupert, SUSD Parent and Supporter
