Goals as a School Board Member

By Graham Ledger

For the Children...

Graham Ledger - Candidate for San Dieguito Union High School District Board

For the Children - Advocate for students (and their parents), not beholden to any special interest group

Scholastic Basics - Teach the fundamentals of world history, American history, California history, etc. without revisionist, politically-correct, selective influences

No New Taxes - the board and district can operate under the parameters of the current revenue stream and not in the red.

No Tax Increase ($449 M Bond) - the San Dieguito Union High School District's planned $449 Million Bond offering on the November 2012 ballot is exactly what I stand against: increased taxes, wasteful use of tax-payer dollars and a disconnect with/disrespect for the very people the Board is sworn to represent and act in the best interest of whiles strapping the next two generations with confiscatory taxation. If the bond is passed, it will hamstring schools with obsolete equipment while crippling the district from seeking fresh monetary streams down the road

Balanced Budget - The current board has shown it cannot even balance its own checkbook. In fiscal 2011-2012, the board ran a DEFICIT of $3.5 million. For fiscal '12-'13, it's projected that the district will be $6 million in THE RED. Imagine what this fiscally dysfunctional board will do with $449 Million!

No Cell Towers on Classrooms - Exposing our school children to RF electromagnetic fields (cell towers built on top of Canyon Crest Academy) is a felony bad idea that I will not support, but was nearly implemented by the current board

Representative of You: Parents & Students + Come to me with your problems and I will be your "voice" on the board
