Candidate for
Governing Board Member; Carpinteria Unified School District; Trustee Area 1

Improved Academic Achievement for Carpinteria's Children

Results of the STAR testing program indicate that our students are scoring low academically

Develop and Implement a Building Plan That Makes Sense and is Economically Sound

The present board has approved building a new school on Toro Canyon Road and adding unsightly temporary buildings to the existing schools on the eastern side of the district. This is poor planing and is not meeting the needs of the district's student population..

Provide Effective Leadership, Especially in Academics

Results of the state testing program, STAR, indicate that our students are scoring below national averages in reading, and spelling and mediocre in other areas. Our building program does not make sense and is wasting taxpayer dollars.
