Questions & Answers

1. What experience and training would you bring to this office?

I taught special education in East Side Union High School District for 32 years. I served on the San Jose Unified School District board of education for 14 years. I have served on my neighborhood board and local school foundation.

2. What changes, if any, would you recommend in the County's special education programs?

I would continue to develop and improve current special education programs. I would provide additional resources to alternative education programs and expand these programs if additional funding becomes available.

3. What should be the role of the County Board of Education with regard to charter schools?

The County Board of Education reviews charter school appeals that have been denied by local school districts. The County Board of Education must provide sufficient oversight to these charter schools that have been approved by the County Board.
