I’ve spent more than three decades working to improve learning and expand access to high-quality educational ideas and resources. Since February 2025, I’ve had the privilege of bringing that experience to the Marin County Board of Education as the appointed Trustee for Area 3.
Serving on the Board has deepened my understanding of both the opportunities and challenges facing Marin’s students, families, and schools.
I’m seeking a full term to continue that work and help every student learn, belong, and prepare for a meaningful future.
On the ballot: Cynthia Johanson Irish
I’m known professionally and in my education work as Cindy Johanson.
A career devoted to education.
A commitment to every student.
Why I’m Running
I believe great schools recognize the potential in every student.
Students need strong academics, but they also need to feel that they belong. They need opportunities to discover what they’re good at, develop confidence, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and learn to work with others.
Those skills are becoming even more important as technology and artificial intelligence change how we live and work.
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on expanding access to high-quality educational resources and sharing effective practices that help students learn and thrive.
I would be honored to continue that work on behalf of Marin County.
