Questions & Answers

1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

I would review the financial data that is provided by the district office. This data should be available to the community at each school board meeting.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

Unfortunately I don't have experience regarding the appropriate instruction for a diverse student population. If elected I plan to become better acquainted with the school community and review current programs that address the needs of the students.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

In five years I would like the district to be financially secure while moving closer to becoming a California distinguished school. In order to accomplish these goals the district should continue to offer and evaluate programs which will improve student achievement.
