School Board, District 7 — Fresno, CA

Marcus Chen

Every student. Every family. Every school.

Marcus Chen

Marcus Chen is a public school parent, a former classroom teacher, and a small business owner who's watched Fresno families work harder for schools that work less well. He's running for School Board because District 7 kids deserve better — and because the people closest to the problem should be the ones solving it.

Marcus and his wife live in District 7 with their two children, both of whom attend Fresno public schools.

What Marcus stands for.

Teacher Retention

Fresno loses nearly a quarter of its teachers every three years. Marcus will push for real classroom support, competitive pay, and decisions made with — not at — teachers.

Student Mental Health

Every District 7 school needs a full-time counselor. Marcus will make mental health a baseline, not a budget-cycle question.

Transparent Budgets

Parents shouldn't need a finance degree to understand school funding. Marcus will publish a plain-language budget every quarter, open to the community.

Career and Trade Readiness

College isn't the only path. Marcus will expand trade partnerships, CTE programs, and dual-enrollment so every graduate has a real next step.
