Angela Swanson back on Lake Tahoe Unified School Board

Angela Swanson, who was a Lake Tahoe Unified School Board member from 2005-2009 is back on the board, this time to replace Ginger Nicolay-Davis who left in June to accept a job with the school district. She was interviewed and voted in Tuesday night during the LTUSD board meeting. Her term will last until December, 2018.

The school district accepted applications for the open seat, and Swanson was the lone candidate so Tuesday's interview and vote was just a formality.

Swanson also served on the South Lake Tahoe City Council for a term from 2010-2014.

Since then, she has been the Senior Grants & Project Management Specialist for the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority. Angela has continued to live in South Lake Tahoe, commuting back to Livermore during the work week.

Swanson said her job allows her the flexibility to be in South Lake Tahoe to take care of LTUSD board business.

"It is so wonderful and so fulfilling to be back," said Swanson upon her return. "Education is home, and its good to be home!"

During her previous term on the school board, Swanson was co-chair of the successful 2008 Measure G bond campaign which invested $64.5 million into school facilities and programs matched by $29.4 million in state bond funds. Those funds created the new buildings and improvement at South Tahoe High as well as other school upgrades.
