Outstanding educator, intelligent, responsive...represents excellence...

Joey Montoya

Head Football Coach
Placer High School

Unmatched passion for education; Exceptional leader; Profound wisdom...

"It is my honor to endorse Dave Lawrenson for the Placer School Board. For over 20 years in the district, Dave has been a pillar of our educational community. When he first took over the music program at Placer High School, it had fallen on tough times. Through sheer determination, tireless work, and an unmatched passion for education, Dave transformed it into one of the largest, most prestigious, and award-winning programs in the entire region. His incredible success across the band, choir, drumline, and wind ensembles ultimately earned him a well-deserved spot in the Placer High School Hall of Fame.

But Dave is more than just an award-winning director; he is an exceptional leader and a person of profound wisdom and integrity. Having just retired from the classroom, he possesses a current, deeply authentic understanding of exactly what our students and teachers need to thrive. He was a brilliant teacher and one of the most respected teachers on campus by both his students and peers.

Dave knows what it takes to build excellence from the ground up, and I have no doubt he will bring that same tireless work ethic to the school board."

Robert Kanngiesser

Board Trustee
Ackerman School District

Fostered an atmosphere of support, respect, and inclusion that enriches everyone...

"Throughout his distinguished career, David has not only taught his students the fundamentals of music but has truly empowered them to become exceptional musicians and outstanding members of society. He has consistently fostered an atmosphere of support, respect, and inclusion that enriches everyone around him. Having personally witnessed the positive impact he has had on my three daughters, I am proud to wholeheartedly endorse and support his continued service as a trustee."
