Lisa Strobridge

As a member of DASD’s Board, I am part of the team that establishes and reviews DASD’s policies and approves appropriations to ensure just and equitable education opportunities for every student in our district.

I am an active parent of three DASD students and have always been invested in my children’s education. Before joining the Board, I was an active participant at school board meetings as a parent and tax paying member of the community, speaking and emailing the Board to share thoughts, concerns, and appreciation. Participation in these meetings has allowed me to understand the successes celebrated within our DASD community, challenges before us, and prepared me to serve on the Board.

I am choosing to run to retain my position on the Board because I believe that quality public education is a cornerstone of our democracy. I believe in supporting our public schools with adequate funding and protecting the right of our students to access scientific and historically accurate information. I support students and educators, not banning resources. I prioritize school and student performance, not political agendas. I strive for community engagement to improve transparency, not self-serving rhetoric.

As a member of the Board, I will continue to advocate for and support policy that prioritizes a student-centered school system that promotes academic and self-growth by addressing the individual needs of every learner.

I have extensive experience and demonstrable success in project, budget, and stakeholder management throughout my professional career as a geologist and environmental consultant, as well as in my community volunteer roles. I volunteered at Chester County Mothers of Multiples Club before my kids were school age, and then with Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania and other organizations. During my time in Girl Scouts, I have been recognized as a community leader through the Super Service Unit Award and the Go-Getter Award. I look forward to continuing to apply my leadership and collaboration skills with fellow Board members to appropriately allocate resources in a manner that prioritizes what is best for the DASD students, staff, and the community.
