Longtime educator running for Live Oak school board as an advocate for students and teachers

Jessica Pasko:

Phyllis Greenleaf has spent much of her life working to improve education, promoting the idea of teaching to the whole child in the numerous college classes she has taught on child development and learning.

Now she hopes to take that knowledge and bring it to a new venue: the Live Oak School District Board of Trustees.

Greenleaf is vying for one of three four-year seats on the board along with current board member Heather Rhodes and Jeremy Ray, a fire captain in Santa Clara.
"I'm not running for the board -- I'm walking," Greenleaf jokes.
As part of her campaign, she and friends have been going door to door to as many residences in the district as they can to introduce herself.
