Why I am Running

By Dan Jeffries

Candidate for Governing Board Member; La Canada Unified School District

This information is provided by the candidate
It is important for the LCUSD Board to enhance the already excellent reputation of our schools while maintaining programs that provide for a well-rounded education and a positive and safe learning environment.
With three children currently attending PCY and two children who have successfully navigated the college admissions process, I understand the needs and interests of students, parents, teachers, and administrators at all grade levels.

I believe that an effective governing board should carefully evaluate all perspectives and strive to build consensus through a transparent process in order to achieve the outcomes that best serve its mandate. As a supervising prosecutor for over 20 years, I have a long history of working diligently to understand differing viewpoints, and building consensus to achieve results.

Safety is an important issue today. As a prosecutor, Regional Safety Director and Divisional Coach for AYSO, and a former ambulance EMT, I have experience evaluating and implementing safety policies and practices.

My father is a retired college professor and I care deeply about our schools. I promise to bring my diverse work experience, skills, life experiences and passion for education to the LCUSD governing board to ensure that our schools continue to excel.
