Campaign website
Donette's campaign website stated the following:
Narrowing opportunity gaps requires both holistic and focused policy change. As a County Office of Education Trustee, I will assess the needs of students across Sacramento County, especially those who have been historically underinvested in, and ensure resources and supports are aligned to where they are needed most. I’m an educator and advocate who brings a community-centered lens and a commitment to measurable outcomes for students and families to every decision
Dominique Donette
My Approach: Equity with Outcomes
In my work, I believe equity must be more than intention. It must produce outcomes. I approach problem-solving with three guiding questions:
How can I meaningfully contribute to this space, situation, or community?
What is possible within the current system, and how do we push it to do better?
Whose voices are missing, and what evidence or models already exist that we can learn from?
After nearly two decades of experience across the education landscape, I understand both what happens inside classrooms and what happens outside them. I have worked at the local, state, and national levels, and I know how policy decisions shape real opportunities for students, families/caregivers, and educators.
In my work, I center community lived experience as the starting point and use data as the tool to diagnose challenges, target resources, and measure impact. I believe lasting change requires both vision and implementation, and I bring a results-driven mindset grounded in partnership, transparency, and urgency.
