LCUSD School Board

As a young LCE parent, I'm excited to have Shilpa on the school board with her years of dedication to our schools and wealth of experience and involvement. We need leaders who know how to get things done for our district, and that's her.

I have known Shilpa for 15 years. She has always been a thoughtful leader and supporter of our community and the public school system. She sees the potential in each student and listens to the needs of our educators. I have no doubt she will be an effective advocate for our schools.

Shilpa would be an incredible addition to our School Board. She's a working mom who is deeply committed to La Canada Schools and has consistently been a rock star across a number of important volunteer positions. She's a smart, thoughtful, and organized problem solver who always gets the job done!

As an active volunteer and parent of four children who attended PCY through LCHS, I've had the good fortune to work alongside some of our best community leaders: people that are smart, gifted, collaborative, and generously give of their talents. Let me tell you, Shilpa is one of those people. She's a pragmatic, active listener — and I have absolute confidence in her vision for how we can serve our students and take our schools to an even brighter future.

Shilpa is a tremendous candidate! She has the qualities, experience, and demeanor to well represent our school district, families, kids, and educators on the LCUSD school board! I've worked with her in numerous settings and she's super thoughtful, hard-working, and finishes projects! Excited for her candidacy and what she'd do for all the kids in La Canada Flintridge that attend our amazing schools!

I worked closely with Shilpa on the LCHS Boosters. Shilpa always shares her observations with thought and care. She willingly supports a variety of extracurriculars and is not afraid to work hard to see things through. I admire her positive energy, driven work ethic and ability to bring projects to fruition.

We have known Shilpa from LC high school and football. She is a dedicated Mom and parent and was a wonderful leader with football. She is approachable, warm and friendly and would be a great addition to the school board.

She's dedicated to the cause and has been extremely vested in the well-being of our community and our children. She's already shown immense initiative to make our community and schools better. I believe she'll be an integral, helpful member of the school board.

Shilpa has extensive experience working within the La Canada School District. She has a vision and the leadership ability to make change!

Shilpa’s leadership was instrumental in ensuring that the Spartan Stadium field was replaced in 2025, benefiting not only football, but all girls’ and boys’ LCHS field sports, physical education, and the LCF community. Shilpa has built great working relationships with many current district staff members.

What distinguishes her is her unwavering dedication to our schools and community. She understands LCUSD’s success is built on commitment to academic excellence, responsible financial stewardship, and meaningful engagement with parents, teachers, and students. She is not someone who seeks attention or recognition; she is someone who does the work.

Supporting Shilpa Shinde-Garg for the La Cañada School Board is an easy decision for me. I have known Shilpa for over a decade and have seen firsthand how deeply committed she is to our schools and our community. Shilpa has been an integral part of La Cañada, giving her time and energy wherever it has been needed. From serving as the visibility lead for Measure LCF to her involvement with the Football Foundation and Boosters, she has consistently shown up, worked hard, and supported the people and programs that make our schools stronger.

This is who Shilpa is: proactive and someone who thinks outside the box. She sees the bigger picture, not only financially and operationally, but emotionally and personally. She is dependable, honest, loyal to the core and, when she says she will do something, she follows through. Our community needs leaders who listen, care deeply, are willing to do the work and understand that the success of our children is ultimately about the strength of our schools. For me, Shilpa represents the best of where La Cañada has been and where we can go next, which is why I’m supporting her for the LCUSD Governing Board and think you should too.
