Madhu Gurthy
Downingtown School Director- Region 2
I’m seeking another term to keep representing our community with openness and care. Over the past four years, I’ve met many of the goals I set early on and made solid progress on long-term priorities like sustainability, healthier meal choices, and emotional well-being for students.
As a South Asian parent, entrepreneur, and community advocate, I understand the variety of perspectives within our schools and want everyone to feel heard. In the years ahead, I’ll focus on using our district’s resources wisely, building on what I’ve learned to create an even stronger, more connected, and supportive environment for all families.
