STATEMENT OF JANET RHEE

CANDIDATE FOR TEMPLE CITY SCHOOL BOARD

Age: 48

Occupation: Incumbent/Retired VP Commercial Lender/Homemaker

As a parent of two children who have matriculated through Longden Elementary, Oak Middle and TCHS, I ask for your support for my re-election. As a resident of this city since 1977, I love our schools and our close knit community.

During the past four years TCUSD has experienced funding cuts of over $6 million resulting in many difficult board decisions. Amidst these tumultuous times, our community has pulled together in support of our children.

I'm proud that we've continued to improve the quality of education while maintaining financial solvency. Our reputation for excellence includes:

  • US News: 2010 Best High Schools

  • California Department of Education (CDE): 10 Highest Performing Districts

  • CDE Distinguished School Award: Emperor & La Rosa

As a mother and a `retired' banker, I will continue to promote academic excellence while being fiscally prudent. After all, our mission is "creating the model citizens of tomorrow today" and helping each student achieve their greatest potential.

Our kids, our community, our future!

Thank you
