Interim School Board Member Appointed In Dublin

DUBLIN, CA — The Dublin Unified School District recently appointed a new board member. Niranjana "Nini" Natarajan replaced Trustee Joe Giannini, who resigned in October. Natarajan, who represents Trustee Area 4, will hold the seat for the reminder of Giannini's term, which ends in 2020.

“While good grades are important, there is so much more to developing an intelligent, curious and emotionally well-balanced child. I want my children, well, all children, to learn in an environment that embraces a sense of community and that strives to provide experiential, interactive learning experiences that foster skills like communication, collaboration, and compromise,” Natarajan said in a statement.

The Dublin resident and mother of two was sworn in on Dec. 11.

“I believe Nini will bring new perspectives and fresh ideas to our board,” said Amy Miller, President, Dublin Unified School District Board of Trustees. “Not only does she bring valuable professional expertise, she also changes the complexion of our board to better represent the diverse and growing community in Dublin. As a parent in the community, facing the challenges of growth on the eastern side of town, her insight will be extremely valuable in shaping the direction of our district and the educational experience of our children.”

Natarajan is the Head of Finance for a growth stage startup in San Mateo, according to district officials.
