San Mateo County Community College District is our best higher education
bargain. It's also our best-kept secret. The District's 1996 Community Needs
Assessment Survey concluded that the colleges are too isolated from local
residents. Enrollment is declining. We're losing local students to other
college districts. We're losing enrollment-based state funding.

We must attract more students. As an elected school district trustee, I know
how to work with our diverse population. I'll provide leadership to link our
community colleges with high schools, universities, and businesses. We must
expand career-training programs for the 21st century workforce. We must hold
courses at times and locations convenient for working adults with children.

My endorsers include: Congressman Tom Lantos, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, Senator
Byron Sher, Assemblyman Ted Lempert, Assemblyman Lou Papan, Sheriff Don
Horsley, Supervisors Ruben Barrales, Rich Gordon, Mary Griffin, and Mike Nevin.

community-connected, please vote for me.
