Yasha Van Praagh is running to bring clearer communication, stronger student support, and practical accountability to the Montgomery County Board of Education.
VolunteerPush for counseling support students can actually find, use, and trust during the school day.
Make policy changes, schedules, and opportunities easier for students to understand before decisions land.
Treat buses, walking routes, late activities, and arrival times as part of the student experience.
Bring board updates back to students in plain language and keep listening after election week.
Yasha’s campaign is centered on the daily reality of public school: students balancing work, activities, family responsibilities, safety concerns, and the pressure to plan for what comes next. The board needs a student member who can translate that reality into concrete action.
Sign up to organize at your school, talk with classmates, and share what Montgomery County students need from the next student member.
