Candidate Ballot StatementBy Bob TuckerCandidate for Board Member; Garden Grove Unified School District |

Public Education Should Provide Students a Chance to Succeed, Not a GuaranteePublic education must begin the process of gradual change from demanding that every student be college bound.There are multiple paths to success. Our nation needs skilled mechanics, machinists, carpenters,and electricians, computer, solar, cable technicians, just as much as it needs college grads. We need to strengthen the two track system-one for the trades and one for the university. Quality vocational training should be enhanced in every school district. Students who lack discipline, come from troubled homes,should not be abandoned. Greater effort in partnering with community resources can provide alternatives to students by offering them real career choices. I have experience in California schools all my life, as a student,a classified employee, a leader with my union. I have served on a district education foundation and school site council. I currently serve on the Garden Grove Unified Personnel Commission. Garden Grove Unified is a great school district that embraces forward thinking through the collaboration of all stakeholders in the district. As a Board Member, I will continue to collaborate with those stakeholders to improve the lives of our students and our community. |
