I feel that membership on the board of Bay Area Educational Institute and Bayhill High School allows me participate in the effort to expand the opportunity for our students to achieve a greater level of success in education and in life than would otherwise be the case.

I am a founder of Bayhill High School and have always valued having a successful high school in the San Francisco East Bay for students with learning differences. I received the Jefferson Award honoring my volunteerism for starting Bayhill High School, and to this day I enjoy working with other board members, focusing on giving the best opportunities to students who learn differently.

Richard Segol
I am a parent of children with learning differences and have advocated for them from an early age. I understand what it takes to educate a child in this day and age. I first served on the board so that there would be an appropriate high school to educate my daughter. She is now an alumni, a college graduate and, now, a member of the Bayhill staff. I continue to serve because I believe there is a need for schools like ours to educate and prepare young adults for the next phase in their lives. I have served on this board since the schools inception serving in many positions including Chairperson. I have expertise in finance and facility management. I take great joy in attending graduation each year to see the seniors and their families beam with pride at what they have accomplished.
