ServicesEducation and Qualifications: As a former Bishop Union HighSchool graduate, I believe in preserving the quality of education in

our rural schools. Ensuring that students have a solid education thatprepares them to engage in their community, trade, and/or chosenprofession is critical.

I believe in Access, Fairness, Responsibilityand Professionalism.

KATHY ZACK AGE: 56Occupation: IncumbentEducation and Qualifications: I am a 1976 graduate of the Bishopschool system and received my undergraduate degree from StanfordUniversity in 1980. I received my Masters in Business Administrationfrom the University of Chicago in 1984, and spent nearly 20 yearsin a career in healthcare and hospital management. My husbandand I have three children; one is in high school and the other twoare recent BUHS graduates. I have valued education my entire life,and nothing is more important to me than the education of ourcommunitys children. As our nations changing economy hasdemonstrated, without a strong education our childrens futures arelimited.I have served on the BUSD Board since 2006 and understand thechallenges and opportunities facing our schools. As a trustee, I keeplearning and achievement for all students as my primary focus. Duringmy time on the board student achievement has steadily risen, but

TAYLOR LUDWICK AGE: 33Occupation: VeterinarianEducation and Qualifications: I was born and raised in SantaBarbara, CA and received my undergraduate degree from WestmontCollege in 2002. I completed a Masters degree in Agricultural and

Environmental Chemistry at the University of California, Davis in2006. I then received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from theUniversity of California, Davis in 2011. My wife is a fifth generationBishop native and graduate of the Bishop school system. We havefour young children, including a third grader, and a kindergartenerat Bishop Union Elementary School.A mentor once told me Graduate from veterinary school, then learnhow to be a veterinarian. I believe this wise statement has a broaderapplication to education in general. The role of a school is to equipan individual with foundational tools necessary to pursue their chosenpath. The onus is then on the individual to use these tools to completetheir journey. As a passionate lifelong learner who is still applyingthe tools Ive acquired through extensive schooling, I believe I bringunique perspective and appreciation for quality education. It wouldbe a distinct privilege to serve on the BUSD Board and ensure thatBishop students leave fully equipped with tools for the journey.
