Surviving our District's 2.7 million dollar budget cut.By Tim GearhartCandidate for Governing Board Member; Paso Robles Joint Unified School District |

The state government is cutting 2.7 million dollars from our District's budget, and cuts must be made. I will fight to keep these cuts away from the classrooms while protecting our sports, music, drama and other elective programs. I favor a well rounded education for all of our students.I believe that I'm uniquely qualified to run for the PRUSD school board during this difficult time of budget cuts and challenges to public education. My experience, training and in-depth knowledge of our district and how it works would be an asset to this board. I have taught in the elementary grades for fourteen years, as well as in the middle and high school levels for twenty-one years. I know what basic concerns, needs and procedures are typical at each of these levels and can identify administrative or Board decisions that might be of benefit to one level but detrimental to another. To minimize these problems requires better communications between elementary, middle school, high school, support staff, site and district administration, parents,and the Board. We are all in this together. We shouldn't be isolated into PRPE, CSEA or Administration, but working collegially toward solutions to the problems challenging our district. Tim Gearhart |
