Re-elect Sandra Zavala-Ortega Vancouver Public Schools Board Director
For the last 4 years I have collaborated with my fellow board members championing academic excellence, equity and trust in our schools.
ABOUT SANDRA
Hi! I’m Sandra Zavala-Ortega
I’m honored to have served as your Vancouver Public Schools Board Director for the past four years. I’m a proud VPS graduate, and as the mother of a current student with special needs, I know firsthand how life-changing a quality education can be.
When I started kindergarten at Anderson Elementary, I didn’t speak English. By graduation, I was not only fluent, but also prepared for college. Now, as our district grows more diverse, I’m committed to ensuring every student has the same opportunity to succeed. Their success is our success.
