School Board Member Dan Wood
[I met with Dan a couple of times, early in the 2001-2002 school year, to talk about technology and the school district. He struck me as a very bright, conscientious and dedicated person. I was very sorry to hear he had cancer, and was very sorry to hear he had passed away. -Thomas]

Winning election to the Santa Cruz school board two years ago was one of the high points in Dan Wood’s life. He looked forward to taking his commitment to school children one step further Wednesday, when he was expected to be elected president of the board.
Instead the 1988 Soquel High School graduate died Thursday of lung cancer. He was 32.
