    Debbie Ramirez is the mom of an Analy sophomore and a 2020 Analy graduate. She  served as a Trustee for the Sebastopol Union School District between 2010 - 2019 as the district navigated through declining   enrollment, increased costs, state funding deferrals, strategic planning, school closure, and campus reconfigurations.

    ​A long-time fan of public meetings, Debbie appreciates the newfound transparency and opportunities for involvement by way of live streamed public meetings due to pandemic mitigations.
