Accountable Leadership. Diverse Schools. A Brighter Future for Royal Oak.

Bringing courtroom discipline, foundation experience, and a mother's perspective to the Royal Oak Board of Education.

Rooted in Family. Proven in the Courtroom. Committed to Education.

I am a proud Royal Oak resident, a practicing attorney with over a decade of legal and business management experience, and a mom of two boys currently attending Royal Oak public schools. My commitment to this district is long-term—the decisions our board makes today will shape my children’s entire K-12 experience.

As a former member of the Royal Oak School Foundation, I have already rolled up my sleeves to secure vital resources for our classrooms. In my daily law practice handling complex family and criminal law matters, I am trained to cross-examine financial budgets, navigate statutory mandates, and use mediation to resolve emotionally charged disputes.

"I’m an attorney, a district mom of two boys ages six and nine, and a candidate dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion. If elected, I will ensure our capital funds are spent accountably to modernize STEAM facilities and fortify physical security across all nine buildings." — Belem Morales
