Long active in her school district, Bhuchar has served on various PTOs and PTAs and district-level committees, including the advisory committees for gifted and talented parents, school health, and community relations and partnerships. She also served on the district accountability task force, audit and finance committee, and the discipline management committee. In addition, she led the formation of Fort Bend ISD’s student leadership and legislative advocacy programs and serves on the board of the Sugar Land Exchange Club and Fort Bend Education Foundation.
