They have two daughters who they enjoy visiting in San Francisco and San Diego.  In 2002 she began working for RBUESD as an English Language Learner Instructional Aide. Later she worked in Special Education and Intervention. After retiring in 2021, she has been working for the last four years as a substitute employee at all four campuses. Your children know her as “Mrs. Clements” working everywhere from crossing guard to librarian. 

 

Mrs. Clements' priority is the safety of your children, providing for their educational needs, and the needs of teaching and support staff.

“I am only one, but I am one; I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do I ought to do, and what I ought to do, by God’s grace, I will do.”  Edward Everett Hale 

I am a proud wife, parent, and Board Trustee dedicated to serving the families and students of the Red Bluff Union Elementary School District. Though I grew up in Cottonwood, CA, I now have the privilege of raising my own children in Red Bluff and contributing to the continued growth and success of our local schools.

As both a parent with my own child in the district and a board trustee, I bring a grounded, compassionate perspective to the board. I care deeply about our children and their future, and I am passionate about helping every student succeed—not just academically, but in life. I believe in thoughtful decision-making, transparent communication, and creating opportunities that support the growth of all learners.

It is an honor to represent our district and help build a strong educational foundation for every child in Red Bluff.
