Rebecca McClellan has served the 6th Congressional District on the State Board of Education since 2017, and has been a champion for equity and academic growth and achievement for all students. Her service has included a term as the Board Liaison to the Colorado Special Education Advisory Committee, as well as State Board Legislative Liaison. Rebecca has represented the State Board at the National Association of State Boards of Education. Board Member McClellan was selected as a 2017 Gates Fellow to the Harvard Kennedy School of Government program for Senior Leaders in State and Local Government.
As City Council Liaison to schools, she worked with legislators and school leaders to develop and pass measures to improve school funding to help every child learn. Rebecca believes that every child can learn, and that we must support our schools. The McClellan family has lived in the district for more than a decade, with roots in our community and children in public school. A long time volunteer, Rebecca even served as an executive officer of the West Middle School PTCO last year. She brings a parent perspective to a board where that input is lacking.
