Candidate for
Board Member; Cabrillo Unified School District

SUSAN FOLEY Age: 39

Occupation: Student Advocate (Special Education)

Education and Qualifications:

If elected as your school-board representative, the following will be my top priorities: 1) Restoring transportation service to all students; 2) Redirecting funds to directly benefit classrooms; 3) Improving communication between parents and the district; 4) Placing the board's focus back on education and away from real estate deals; and, 5) Building the new middle school in a location desired by the community.

I will also work towards: providing adequate supplies for classrooms, relieving overcrowding in our schools, implementing programs that serve all types of learners. Our district has the potential to offer excellence in education and I will work toward that goal.

My Background: My two children (ages 18 and 10) have attended district schools at various times since 1992 through the present. I hold a law degree, and have legal and human resources work experience. I have a no nonsense approach to the current board's handling of many important issues, and little tolerance for games. I have compassion and knowledge for what parents need from a school district. With my legal training and hands-on experience with CUSD, I will be an asset to the community as a board member.
