My name is Susan Frankel and I have worked in Special Education at the San Ramon Valley Unified School District for over 19 years. For the past 12 years I have been a WorkAbility Coordinator and  helped develop  our program from its inception.  I am a long time resident of Danville and graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Sociology. I also have a Juris Doctor degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law and previously practiced law in the San Ramon Valley. My passion is working with students with special abilities and helping them learn about, and preparing them for, the many options available to them after they leave SRVUSD. We are very fortunate to live in a community that embraces our program, which has enabled us to successfully place well over 1,000 students in JOBS!
