About Kashif
Software engineer. NHUSD parent. Husband of a teacher. Preparing our classrooms for a changing world.
As a software engineer with 20 years of experience, a father of a student in the New Haven Unified School District, and the husband of a teacher in NHUSD, I see our schools through the eyes of both a parent and a partner in education.
Technology is reshaping how we live and work. AI, robotics, and digital tools are no longer optional; they are essential. I want to bring practical technology into our schools so students gain needed skills and teachers receive training and resources to succeed. My background helps me understand what works and how to introduce it into the classroom.
I am committed to raising academic standards and school ratings across the district. That means supporting strong instruction, clear accountability, and continuous improvement—while ensuring teachers have what they need to do their best work.
Why I'm running
I'm running for School Board Trustee because every child deserves classrooms that prepare them for a changing world—and every teacher deserves the support to make that possible.
I will listen to parents, teachers, and community members, work hard, and stay focused on the students and families who count on our schools. It would be an honor to earn your trust and your vote.
