Kathy Francis, Trustee

Term: December 2022 - December 2026
This is my 9th term on the board, which makes 35 years as of this past January. Because I was a teacher in a neighboring district (Columbia) and because I care deeply about the teachers, the children, and their families, I have stayed on the board to offer my perspective from a teacher’s viewpoint.
My husband, Roger, attended Sonora Elementary as well as his dad, Ralph. Ralph’s dad, Joseph Francis, was a trustee. Our children Kerri, Katie and Ryan were fourth generation Bobcats.
I am currently active in Omega Nu, Alpha Iota chapter. It is a local group which raises money to help women and children in need in Tuolumne County.
