Diljot Singh Rai has a deep-rooted connection to Central Unified, having come up through the district himself. Over the past 4 years in CUSD, Diljot has turned frustration into action, advocating at board meetings for equity after his own high school became overcrowded, then gathering 602 signatures in a single week to help secure CUSD's first-ever Student Trustee position, later pushing the board to pass a more equitable lunch schedule and fairer grading and exam retake policies, and expanding student options by advocating for Spanish classes in summer school.

As a Student Family Coordinator, Diljot works directly with youth and families across the Valley. With a track record of showing up to board meetings and getting real policy passed, not just promises, Diljot is running for Central Unified School Board, Area 7, to make sure every student and parent has a real voice in the decisions that shape their education.
