McLendon decided to run for the school board director position to help uphold Woodland Public Schools’ mission to provide quality education to all students. “I love everything about Woodland, especially seeing my classmates around town,” he said. “I want to help ensure all students have a great school experience while getting a top-level education.”
McLendon, a Woodland native, attended Woodland Public Schools for his entire K-12 academic career, earning his diploma from Woodland High School.
