CSP Welcomes New Parent-Elected Board Member
We’re pleased to announce that Allina Lee has been elected by the CSP parent community to serve on the Governing Board. Allina is a CSP parent with three children enrolled across our elementary and middle/high school campuses.
She brings extensive experience from her work as a statistical policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Justice. Her skills in policy, data governance, and program evaluation are a strong match for CSP’s mission.
A committed school volunteer, Allina has served as PTA President at Fort Smallwood Elementary and currently as PTO President at CSP Elementary, a role she will conclude at the end of this school year.
