![Former Board President Dana Tom poses in the Palo Alto High School photo studio. As an Asian American, he said he doesn't feel Palo Alto Unified School District Board of Education elections are not racially polarizing. Instead, he believes one aspect that hinders diversity on our school board is the large amount time and energy required of members. "I feel its anti democratic if you have a system whereby only people who are well off enough to be able to devote that much time to it [can run]," he said. "It eliminates a lot of great people who could serve." Photo by Jasmine Venet](https://verdemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DanaTomdigital.jpg)
