The Platform
The ABC’s of Strong Schools
Every decision Charissa makes on the board will come back to three simple commitments — the same ones printed on the door hangers she hands to neighbors across Trustee Area 4.
Balanced Budgets
Taxpayer dollars spent in the classroom, not on bureaucracy. Transparent spending, honest audits and priorities that put students first.
Common-Sense Leadership
A board member who listens before she votes — keeping politics out of the classroom and parents firmly in the loop.
Meet Your Candidate
A parent first, a leader always.
Charissa McCullough is not a career politician — she is the mom cheering from the bleachers, the volunteer in the classroom and the small-business owner who balances a budget every single month.
From Little League fields to school board meetings, she has spent years showing up for East County kids. Now she is asking for your vote to keep showing up — with an open door, an open budget and an open mind.
- Mother of four GUHSD-area students
- Educator & small-business owner
