o Why the TCUSD School Board?

I believe education is crucial to the success of our children in many ways. Education provides the foundation for our children to realize their full potential as not only good citizens, but more importantly, good people. This is the foundation on which a community is built. We must enlist the dedication of parents and teachers to provide them with all resources to help them succeed in this endeavor. Parents and teachers, supported by many who impact our children's education, make the difference in our schools. We have made big strides in our schools, but our goal toward excellence requires much more work to be done. I look forward to being a part of the team that continues to drive the success of the TCUSD on our road toward becoming a better district.
