What are my goals

By John Dexter

Candidate for Trustee; Twin Rivers Unified School District; Trustee Area 2

This information is provided by the candidate
We need to re-engage our communities in the education process
As a school board member it is important to promote policies that encourage students to take responsibility for their actions.
  • Support all prevention programs that work to keep all students from drugs, violence, gangs, bullying and provide education and assistance to all families that are victim to these issues.
  • Strongly support the use of technology in closing the achievement gap. I will promote the hiring of a grant writer to bring in additional revenue to upgrade and expand technology in our schools.
  • We must have a stronger emphasis on K-3rd grade reading and learning skills.
  • Improve graduation rates through aggressive early intervention and credit recovery programs.
  • Hold the Superintendent and Administration responsible for their actions.
  • Value and seek the voice of the community when making decisions.
  • Transparency in all actions taken by the Board and School District must be paramount.
  • Reduce all unnecessary and excessive spending.
  • Provide leadership that is proactive not reactive.
  • Promote policies that show respect for our communities, students and staff.
  • Student and Staff safety will always be first.
  • h Increase community involvement and provide accessibility to all.
