Candidate Statement

By Marci Lapriore

My experience in teaching in Brentwood Union School District makes me the right candidate to represent teachers and students.

As a teacher with BUSD, I volunteered to serve on the Teacher Liaison Committee, or bargaining team. We worked with the district and board to balance the budget, create an effective Professional Development schedule, and keep class sizes as low as possible. I plan to continue that work as a board member. I am frugal, analytical, and determined, and I have dedicated my life to being an educator.

As a board member, I will represent students, parents, teachers, and the community. I will promote and support decisions that reinforce high standards for students and I will be a voice for our professionals: the teachers. We need to make sure that our local funding goes directly to improving the experience of school, so that our campuses cultivate caring, yet rigorous, environments for teaching and learning.
