Political Philosophy for Joe Walker
Candidate for |
||||
|
What I believe in: Establishing a transparent, open School Board process, with increased communication and links to community Ensuring that TCUSD's curriculum at every level prepares each child to succeed, wherever life takes them ( college-bound, military, the arts, business,blue collar trades, etc) Maintaining small classes in Kindergarten-3rd grade Keeping the 20 to 1 ratio in K-3 is the responsibility of the school district and the board. I fought for this issue in the district budget committee and will continue to make this a major issue Honoring our brave men and women who served in the armed forces and making sure our schools teach about their sacrifices. Teachers have the greatest influence over the quality of our students education. I will ensure that our teachers have a safe and productive work environment that allows them to focus on our student's education. We also need to ensure that our highly skilled and extremely important classified staff have the same respect and positive work environment as our teachers require. Restoring trust in our Board, by operating in the open, and maintaining an eye on the only issue--our kids and our schools. No outside political interests should interfere with our decisions Ensuring a challenging and engaging education for all students (K-12) as well as caring for their social and emotional needs |
