Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Charles Brink

Candidate for
Governing Board Member; Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District

This information is provided by the candidate

I fought for and won developer funding (not property taxes) for the high school, which funding was cancelled by the Duzick board's actions. Duzick instead issued $400,000 in non-voter approved debt to build the temporary high school at Vasquez. This is still negatively impacting the district.

I have made hundreds of written proposals of which many are posted on line over the last 10 years. These show millions of dollars of waste and miscalculations, exposed that the district has violated the Field Act, which protects the students from earthquake unsafe buildings by failing to apply to the Department of State Architecture (DSA) for approval of the entire Vasquez campus, including the gym, and the modulars at Meadowlark School.

I have railed against the hiring of out-of-town "consultants" and a Palmdale superintendent telling us what type of schools we want for our community. I think our community should plan our local schools.

I served on the school Surplus Property Committee, whose final report opposed the closing of the Acton School. I am now serving on the current Facilities Committee and the new Facilities Master Plan Committee. These committees' actions and minutes have been posted on-line for all the community to see. I am an acknowledged expert on "The Brown Act" and if you search for "The Brown Act" on Google you will see that my site is number 1 in the world.
