Committed to equitable education for all Colorado kids.

“I endorse Marisol for State Board of Education - District Two.”

“She is the parent of two kids currently in our public schools, and as a father myself, I know how important that missing perspective on the State Board is. The June Democratic Primary is a crucial opportunity for you to make a difference. Make sure to vote for Marisol Rodriguez for the State Board of Education District Two!"

— Governor Jared Polis

Marisol Rodriguez is a Boulder-based business owner, education veteran and most importantly, mom of two Boulder Valley School District children.

From helping with homework to navigating the alphabet soup of special education programs to supporting her children through the challenges and changes of adolescence, having kids in the PreK-12 system gives Marisol first-hand experience of the many issues that families and educators face in our schools every day.

If elected, Marisol will be the only State Board member with kids still in our PreK-12 education system.

“Marisol is the clear choice for State Board of Education. Marisol understands the challenges and hopes of public-school parents, because she is one.”

— Rebecca McClellan (D), Colorado State Board of Education Chairwoman

EXPERIENCE WHERE IT MATTERS

Marisol is a Hispanic small business owner and has spent the last 20 years working in schools to help with strategy and team building.

She talks weekly with teachers, students, families, and administrators across the country to improve school operations and school-to-community engagement.

These conversations have given Marisol an in-depth view of what goes on in our schools, the challenges students and educators face, and the promising practices that are helping kids learn and feel safe in school.

WHY SHE’S RUNNING

  • Has deep and personal connections to issues facing our special education students.

  • Believes that all students, especially those most vulnerable like our LGBTQIA+ students, deserve a safe learning environment.

  • Believes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education and that students and families should be able to attend public schools that best meet their needs.

  • Knows our schools are underfunded and will use her position on the state board to advocate for more funding that’s more fairly distributed, to support students and teachers.

  • Opposes vouchers, ESAs, and other efforts to transfer public tax dollars to unaccountable private or religious education programs.
