Dr. Nancy Kotowski, Preparing Our Students for the Future

By Nancy Kotowski

A proven leader for Monterey County, Dr. Nancy Kotowski's 33 years of distinguished service in education make her the right educational leader for the future.

There are four pillars of my vision for education in Monterey County: fiscal accountability, student achievement, student safety and health, and highly qualified teachers. I will lead Monterey County education to the next level of excellence.

Dr. Bill Barr, retiring County Superintendent of Schools, has endorsed me. Together we have established a clear course of accountability.

Our schools have made consistent improvement in student achievement over the past six years. We have provided strong leadership in requiring balanced budgets with safe reserves.

I have a positive working relationship with school employees and parents, and many successful partnerships, including Monterey County Reads with Sylvia Panetta; Workplace Connections with the Monterey County Business Council; and Teacher Workforce Initiative with a consortium of colleges, universities, teachers and school districts.

My educational background and experience includes a Ph.D. in Education from the University of Southern California and service as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer.

I am the strong leader needed to prepare our students for success in the 21st century.

I ask for your vote and your support.
