Vivian Song is once again seeking a seat on the Seattle School Board, this time in District 5. Song served on the school board from 2021 through January 2024, when she resigned after moving outside of her seat’s district lines for family reasons. She is a parent to district students, an Asian American daughter of immigrants, and a former president of the PTSA. Song has a professional background as a small business owner and a finance professional for companies, including Google and Goldman Sachs.
Song has maintained a strong equity orientation over the years, emphasizing the need for every child to have equal educational opportunities, regardless of their identity, background, or family resources. For example, she examined how Seattle’s North-end schools have supplemented their budgets with strong PTA fundraising from parents, while South-end schools operate with fewer resources. Song has advocated for making stronger appeals to the state for equitable funding across all Seattle schools to address this gap. Now, she hopes to rejoin the board and continue fighting to boost enrollment, build vocational and college pathways, and oppose Trump’s attacks on public education.
In her current campaign, Song continues to focus on equity and inclusion in Seattle City Schools. She is prioritizing equitable learning opportunities with multi-cultural curricula such as ethnic studies and language immersion. Song is supportive of student safety measures, especially against rising gun violence, mental health challenges, and threats from the federal government. She supports permanent and equitable funding for counselors, nurses, social workers, and mental health professionals.
Song's campaign leads with compassion and care for the well-being and success of Seattle students. We recommend Vivian Song for Seattle School Board from District 5.
