Richard F. Wahl Optician / Parent
As the father of two children attending San Carlos schools, I am committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to receive an excellent education in a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment.
I bring more than 30 years of leadership experience managing teams, developing budgets, solving complex problems, and building strong organizations. As a U.S. Navy veteran, former educator, and business executive, I understand the importance of accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Throughout my career and community service, I have worked to bring people together, listen carefully, and make thoughtful decisions based on facts and long-term results. I believe our schools succeed when trustees, teachers, staff, parents, students, and the community work as partners with mutual respect and a shared purpose.
As your trustee, I will focus on maintaining academic excellence, supporting and retaining outstanding teachers, ensuring responsible financial oversight, and preparing every student for future success. I would be honored to earn your trust and your vote for the San Carlos School District Governing Board.
