Saru Salvi
Candidate
A Journey Rooted in Education and Advocacy
My name is Saru Salvi, and I am running for a seat on the Orange County Board of Education. My husband and I have four grown children a multitude of grandchildren and an Irish Wolfhound. The values that drive me were shaped generations ago, and I carry a legacy of service and an unyielding belief in the transformative power of education.
My children attended Public Schools, and I ran an Elementary School Program rewarding second graders who completed all their homework, most improved and other self confidence building awards. I have also been a Middle School substitute teacher and I am aware of the challenges facing the Public Schools in Orange County, and the need to create a supportive environment that would encourage each child to reach its full potential.
