Official Ballot Statement

                 Statement of JAY M. JACKMAN, Candidate for
                           Governing Board Member
   Occupation: Incumbent/M.D., Psychiatrist
   Age: 58
   Education and Qualifications:
   The community can take great pride in the major transformations that
   have taken place in the District during the past four years. During my
   term on the Board, we repaired the earlier financial disarray and
   established a solid financial situation, recruited and hired
   outstanding senior management (a Chancellor and a College President),
   and began a process to complete long-deferred maintenance and repair
   infrastructure. With limited dollars, a major task was to sensitively
   balance competing needs in the District. We continued fostering
   faculty development, the excellence of the District as a leader in use
   of computers, student transfers to four-year institutions, and the
   preparation and certification of students for the well-paying
   high-tech, bio-tech and health services jobs in our community.
   A vote for me is a vote for an experienced Board member with
   commitments to continued excellence and fiscal responsibility, and a
   deep appreciation of the goals of our outstanding students, faculty,
   staff and administration. For the future, we must integrate new
   technologies and communications into all aspects of our activities
   based on existing foundations, and continue to develop innovative
   programs. I want us to remain one of the preeminent community college
   districts in the nation.
