I am proud to endorse Michele Rosenbaum for re-election to the Riverdale School Board. Since 2021, her leadership has restored full-time learning and introduced innovative programs like the International Baccalaureate while ensuring fiscal responsibility in challenging times. As CEO of OpenDrives and a council member for Durham, Oregon, I value leaders who drive tangible community impact and Michele exemplifies that with her unwavering commitment to student-centered education. I’m confident her continued service will further strengthen our schools and foster deep, lasting community connections.

Serving as vice-chair alongside Chair Michele Rosenbaum on the Riverdale School Board, I’ve witnessed firsthand her unwavering dedication to premium educational opportunities for our students. Her leadership has been pivotal in reinstating field studies, strengthening STEAM learning programs, retaining our capable superintendent, managing the budget during challenging financial times, and instilling confidence in our community that Riverdale deserves their support.

Since her election to the Riverdale School Board, Michele’s vision and leadership have helped shape the Riverdale School District into what it is today. She advocates for the students and teachers and builds relationships to strengthen our community. We are thankful that she has chosen to run again to continue to do the hard work and put students, teachers, and the community first. Join John and me in voting for Michele Rosenbaum in the upcoming Riverdale School District Board elections.

Michele Rosenbaum’s inclusive, judicious and conscientious approach to the decisions she’s made over the course of her tenure serving on the Riverdale School Board are evidence of her unwavering commitment to the education of students at both of our district’s schools. Whether she’s volunteering as a chaperone on a High School field trip, offering her support on the playground at the Grade School, or navigating a board agenda late into the evening, she’s consistently proven that she’s an outstanding, impassioned leader who’s ready for all that lies ahead.

As a teacher within the district, I've had the opportunity to observe Michele Rosenbaum's dedication and commitment to our students and schools for the past seven years, in both her role as a parent and as a school board member. Michele has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the needs of our classrooms. She is a staunch supporter of bridging the gap between our middle school and high school. Michele's collaborative spirit, her willingness to listen, and her genuine passion for education make her an invaluable member of the Riverdale School Board.

Allison Williams

Riverdale Parent & Annual Foundation Campaign Co-Chair

I’m proud to support Michele Rosenbaum for reelection to RSD School Board. Michele served during one of the most successful and high-achieving periods in Riverdale’s history—and that’s no coincidence. Her steady leadership helped restore in-person learning, bring back key programs like field studies and a second foreign language, and strengthen both academic support and STEAM education. Michele is deeply committed to our community and incredibly generous with her time; she is always working to make our schools better. She played a major role in stabilizing our leadership and budget while also reopening opportunities for community use and alumni engagement. Riverdale is stronger because of her service, and I hope you’ll join me in voting to reelect her.

One of the most rewarding parts of serving on the Riverdale School Board has been the relationships I've built and the creative collaboration along the way. Planning this event with such a talented group of parents — and taking time to celebrate each and every child — was a truly beautiful moment. These connections have become part of who I am and continue to shape how I approach the decisions we make as a Board.
