Candidate for
Trustee; Sacramento City Unified School District; Trustee Area 4

It is critical that parents are involved in the far-reaching actions of the school district as it prepares our children to compete and work on a global scale, and in the information age. I am a product of Sacramento City Unified School District and It is critical that parents are involved in the far-reaching actions of the school district as it prepares our children to compete and work on a global scale, and in the information age. I am a product of Sacramento City Unified School District and I have been involved in the public school system since (1990). If I were to list the major problems in the educational system: (1) Sacramento City Unified School District Grade 9-12 Four-year Derived Dropout Rate 24.2% in 06/07 (2) We need to improve graduation rates, and invite more community partnerships in the district to create a skilled labor force (3) And for students that want to move on to college we need to give a stronger foundation to be successful. Out of 100 students that choose to move on to college 33 make it through the second year and drop out; and only 18 graduate. I believe in public education and I believe we can fix these and other issues. That is why I am honored for this opportunity to bring the voices of concerned citizens into the process. INVOLVEMENT: I am chair of the District Citizens’ Title I/State Compensatory Education Programs Advisory Committee. I am a board member for the California Alliance for School(s), Family, and Community Partnerships. As an advocate for parents and students, I look forward to serving you as a Governing Board Member representing Trustee Area 4.
