“When I was a student in high school, Dr. Vân Truong was a powerful presence on campus. I saw her lead and support student-led efforts like the Vietnamese Student Association and cultural assemblies that celebrated our diverse community. Her belief in students and her commitment to representation made a lasting impression on me.
Since then, I’ve watched Cô Vân become a true force in education. From creating the first Vietnamese dual language immersion program at PPS to serving as a teacher, principal, and interim assistant superintendent, Cô Vân brings deep experience and a personal commitment to equity that’s rooted in her own journey as a refugee and English learner.
Now, she is running for the Beaverton School Board, and she is absolutely the most qualified and principled leader. ”
“I enthusiastically endorse Dr. Vân Truong for the Beaverton School Board, Zone 1. Her experience as a classified staff member, teacher, principal, district leader, parent, and grandparent gives her a well-rounded perspective on student needs. With a track record of data-driven decision-making, and strong community engagement, centering on students, she excels at building bridges across diverse groups. Dr. Truong is a systems thinker and a collaborative leader—precisely what our schools need at this critical time.”
