She said she saw no conflicts between working at a private school and being a public school leader. She emphasized that the private and public school systems should not see each other as enemies.

“Do we think the public schools are doing so well that we don’t need to learn from others, including private schools?” Hsu said. “Let’s be more open-minded.”
Hsu’s entry into the race is considered late, with more than 10 candidates competing for four seats, and one incumbent, Matt Alexander, running for reelection. The race is heating up as many political groups are in the process of completing their endorsements.
Hsu said she observed that some of the candidates and board members were “playing politics” again, and that’s why she wanted to offer herself up as an alternative for voters.
The deadline to file to run for the school board is Aug. 9.
