38 Years Teaching.Students First.
Barbara Jones is a retired Benicia educator bringing nearly four decades of classroom experience to the school board.
MEET BARBARA
A lifetime in education.
A new way to serve.
Barbara Jones dedicated 38 years to education, including teaching right here in the Benicia Unified School District.
Throughout her career, Barbara taught math across multiple grade levels, from elementary school through high school and at the college level. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of how decisions made outside the classroom ultimately affect the students and teachers inside it.
After nearly four decades of listening to students, working alongside educators, and partnering with families, Barbara is ready to serve Benicia in a new way—as a member of the Board of Trustees.
WHY I'M RUNNING
Students First. Always.
I’m running for School Board because I believe the people making decisions about our schools should understand how those decisions actually impact classrooms.
Benicia is my community. I want to bring my experience, perspective, and commitment to education to the Board while listening to our students, families, teachers, and community.

Practical priorities grounded in classroom experience

Why I’m voting for Barbara
“If you care about compassion, critical thinking, and creativity for our children, elect Barbara Jones to the Benicia School Board. It’s been more than 30 years since I was her student, and I can still say the skills she taught me helped me more than any other teacher.”— Chelsea Joy Thomsen, MD, MSPH
“Barbara Jones was the most impactful teacher I have ever had. I am now an attorney who regulates the legal profession in California in part because of the examples and expectations she set for me in my youth. We need world class educators like Barbara Jones setting policy for school districts.”— Ryan Harrison
California State Bar Board of Trustees Member
