MVUSD Trustee Area 2
Building Stronger Schools Together
Courtney Thouvenell is a mom and 19-year Murrieta resident running for Murrieta Valley Unified School District’s Board of Education Trustee Area 2 — Student Success, Collaboration, and Transparency.
PARENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBER
Courtney has called Murrieta home for nineteen years – raising her own child in the same neighborhoods, parks, and classrooms that make up Trustee Area 2. She’s been a longtime volunteer across MVUSD school communities and heard MVUSD families ask for the same things again and again: transparency, accountability, and a board that listens before it votes.
That's why she's running. Not as a career politician, but as a mom who shows up — to back-to-school nights, to booster fundraisers, to the district meetings. Courtney believes every family deserves a trustee who does their homework, and puts students ahead of politics.
- Running for Student Success
- Running to support community and school Collaboration
- Running to keep Transparency as a priority
Courtney's platform is built around what MVUSD families have told her matters most — not slogans, but the day-to-day work of a trustee.
Student Success
No student should fall through the cracks. Courtney will push for consistent academic support, real accountability for outcomes, and a board that measures success by every child – not just the average.
Collabration
Great schools are built with meaningful collaboration between parents and school staff. Courtney will actively listen to community input and support parent involvement through open communication and timely response.
Transparency
Trust is earned with transparency - clear budgets, open meetings, and a trustee who explains her votes. Courtney values community input and will take it into consideration when voting on school board decisions.
