Quotes:
From SCUSD Trustee Albert Gonlalez: "Dr. Koltermann's strong and steady leadership as Board President has provided great value to SCUSD."

From SCUSD Trustee Jim Canova: "It was my pleasure to make the motion for Christine to serve in her second year as President of the Governing Board of the SCUSD. Christine has proven to be both thoughtful and effective in her role as Board President."

From Sunnyvale Council Member Dave Whittum:
"Of the many school board members I have met and worked with over my years in office, Chris is the only one ever to come to our City Council meeting, and stand up to speak on behalf of the school district. Since that remarkable day, I have gotten to know Chris and come to appreciate greatly her services as an active and engaged partner in looking out for the needs of our community. Chris is always ready to meet, and a meeting with Chris is always a pleasure. When the opportunity to serve as liason with SCUSD presented itself, I jumped at the chance, based on my strong, positive impression of Chris Koltermann, and the positive energy and enthusiasm she brings to her work. Chris is bright, educated, independent, thoughtful, poised,
articulate, and she does her homework. It is very impressive to me that in addition to her board service, she is also engaged in teaching, and is completing certification
in school finance under CASBO. We are fortunate to have Chris on the SCUSD Board. I am happy to give her my highest endorsement."

Sara Smith, 14 year SCUSD veteran teacher, SCUSD Mission Middle College Site Coordinator, says: "Dr. Koltermann is an educator-advocate with a focused equity driven mindset. She is driven to include all types of students and learners at the table of education. Her track record of collaborating in making board decisions with the focus on what is best for students has proven to me that Dr. Koltermann is the type of advocate-leader that SCUSD needs."

Will Kennedy, Former City of Santa Clara Council Member, says: "Christine is a positive force on our school board and has committed large amounts of time and energy to improving our schools."

Kevin Moore Former Trustee West Valley - Mission Community College Board, Former Vice- Mayor City of Santa Clara says: "I am endorsing Chris for re-election because of her strong efforts to boost student achievement. In addition, I appreciate her focus and hard work to provide the important necessary basics for our students!"

Brian Darby, SCUSD Educational Options Special Education Teacher, says: "Dr. Koltermann is the President of the School Board I am employed with; she is a calm in the storm and fair in her application of board policies. During contentious times she is a calming force as well as sensitive to each of her constituents. This is not easily achieved. I respect what she has done and highly recommend Dr. Koltermann."
