SEA Executive Board

Kathy Butler
President

My name is Kathy Butler and I am the President of the SEA. I am a 7th grade Administrative Assistant at AG Wright Middle School. I have been at AGW since 2012 where I started as a Paraprofessional. I became a member of SEA 2 years into my job and became more active last year when I asked the simple question of "what can I do to help?" I have rallied with educators in Richmond, at School Board meetings, and rallies. The SEA works tirelessly for all of us, and I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful family that I have found. I can't wait for you to become part of our family!!

I am very passionate about advocacy and transparency, and a firm believer that knowledge is power. I love seeing us harness that power and raise our collective voice as a union to enact meaningful change. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or need clarification on anything. I'm excited to work with you!

Cassi Stroud
Treasurer

I am an English teacher at North Stafford High School and started working in Stafford in 2013. I am a mother of seven children and am vested in making sure that our schools are strong and supported to the best of my ability. Now that most of my children are grown and out of the house I have the time to invest in supporting staff through SEA. I am excited to serve our community.

Matthew Lentz
High School Director

My name is Matthew Lentz and I am a German teacher at Colonial Forge High School. My wife also teaches in the division and our two children attend Stafford schools. I have been a member of NEA and all of my locals since I became a teacher in 1994. I am very passionate about advocacy and believe everyone needs to be treated with courtesy, dignity, and respect. I have witnessed and participated in the power of organization and collective voices over the years and am excited to bring that to Stafford Education Association. Together, we have the power to make positive change.
