Cynthia Rachel

Cynthia Rachel has been with IEM Schools for 10 years and is currently the Director of Communications and Development. She began her time here as an Education Specialist for South Sutter Charter School. She has a background in classroom-based instruction and has enjoyed the transition to the charter school, non-classroom based instruction world. Cynthia has earned her Masters Degree in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction and also holds an Administrative Credential. She lives in Northern California with her two children.

Through her time with IEM she has grown to understand and embrace the concept of parent-driven education with a student-centered focus. Together with staff, students and families, Cynthia’s goal for the schools is to develop life-long learners. Her department helps with this goal by providing oversight in areas of charter compliance, governance, political relations, communications, social media and developing relationships with the authorizing school districts.
