Why I'm running

Public schools changed my life. As the son of an undocumented Chinese immigrant, I found a second home in SFUSD classrooms — and the teachers here helped me overcome a speech impediment and build the confidence to succeed. I've spent years giving that back: volunteering in classrooms, serving on the district's bond oversight committee, and helping hundreds of students access scholarships and opportunity.

"Now I'm running because I want every student to have those same opportunities — better outcomes for every student, more for students and families, and a lifetime commitment to SFUSD." — Laurance Lee

My priorities for the Board

Three commitments guiding every vote I'd cast.

1

Better Outcomes for Every Student

Literacy first, expanded access to programs like 8th-grade algebra and Mandarin Immersion, and instruction guided by data — not guesswork.

2

More for Students. More for Families.

Real community voice in district decisions, and budget clarity families can actually follow.

3

A Lifetime Commitment to SFUSD

Independent fiscal oversight and a culture of continuous improvement — accountability over politics.
