Bryan Johnson for LASD Board

I have been a member of the LASD Board of Trustees for the last ten years, after being first elected in 2016 and then re-elected in 2018 and 2022. Throughout that time, I have worked with my colleagues on the board to support the physical, mental, and emotional health of our students, teachers, staff and families, while also supporting our students' learning and development. I have also worked to increase communication and transparency with our entire community..

 

Over the course of my time on the board, my colleagues and I have worked with the Mountain View City Council to develop the landmark plan creating our new San Antonio Campus and an adjoining two acre park to support the ongoing and much-needed housing growth in that part of the city and district. We have also had years of amicable facility agreements with Bullis Charter School, and I believe the San Antonio Campus will make possible the long-term facilities solution that has eluded our community for so long.

​

In 2020 I served as Board President, and guided the district and community through a long-needed update to the Facilities Master Plan. Once the pandemic crises engulfed us, clear board direction, our tireless administrators, and dedicated teachers and staff enabled LASD to pivot to remote learning faster and better than many other districts in the county and state.

​​

In 2024, again as Board President, I oversaw the design and successful passage of Measure EE, which will provide bond revenue so that we can begin renovations of all of our school sites and ensure that all LASD students can learn in modernized facilities. 

​

My time on the Board has seen significant improvement in the district's financial situation, with increased reserves, even as we have been able to increase salaries to strengthen our competitive position relative to our surrounding districts. 

​

But beyond those recent efforts, I have been active in the Los Altos community ever since Jocelyn and I moved here in 2006. ​From 2010 to 2025, I was a dedicated volunteer at Santa Rita Elementary, Egan Junior High, and Los Altos High School. I served a variety of leadership roles in the Santa Rita PTA, including PTA President from 2013-2014. I've also volunteered for school activities that bring me in day-to-day contact with teachers and students such as Project Cornerstone, Science Olympiad, Living Classroom, Junior Olympics, and many more. I also served on the Measure N campaign committee which successfully passed the previous bond measure.

 

As someone fortunate enough to have time to dedicate to local issues, I believe that I have a responsibility to serve my schools, my community, and my neighbors, and I look forward to putting my experience and knowledge to work for another four years.
