claire luger
Claire joined the White Bear Lake School District in the fall of 2019 as a Special Education Teacher at Central Middle School, and is currently in her 9th year of teaching. Prior to working in WBLAS, Claire was a building rep and government relations rep in her previous local bargaining unit. A firm believer in the Wellstone principle that "We all do better when we all do better," Claire's involvement with union work is driven by an urgent value for educator voice, rights, and ownership of our labor in order to raise the education profession. Claire loves family time and spends her downtime enjoying live music, serving in her role in her local city government, and spending time with the indoor and outdoor family pets.
