When I was elected to the Mt.
Diablo Unified School District Board of Education four short years ago, the
community wanted change. I’m a current
parent of a student in the District and I can tell you that I examine District needs
as a parent. Of the incumbents remaining
on the Board, I’m the only Board Member with a student in our schools. I ask tough questions and I expect honest
answers. I study the issues carefully
and I make thoughtful and reasoned decisions.
As your board member I have helped
facilitate positive change in the District. Though the state has reduced the District’s
budget, MDUSD has been able to maintain financial stability. I have championed strategic planning and
provided the leadership necessary to bring about needed change.
There is much more to do. We must improve communications. We must set high standards for staff. We must eradicate waste and
inefficiency. We must set high
expectations for student achievement and conduct.
With your vote I will continue to
work hard to bring about the positive changes that our District so badly needs.
