Orange County Board of Education, Area 2
Excellence. Choice. Opportunity — For Every Orange County Student.
I am excited to announce my candidacy for reelection to the Orange County Board of Education.
As your representative, I have remained committed to academic excellence and to honoring parental rights—making decisions that put students and families first. I have consistently supported inter-district transfers to ensure children are not trapped by their zip code, giving families the freedom to choose the educational path that best fits their needs.
I look forward to continuing to serve District Two, where I will work to ensure all voices are heard. I will keep bringing greater transparency to important issues and policies, and I will continue to stand up for the values that matter most to our community.
Together, we can keep making a difference for our students, families, and schools.
“Mari Barke, with her experience as a parent who sent her children through local schools, is an outstanding representative for parents and students. She has a unique perspective that is needed on our Orange County Board of Education.”
