Candidate for
Board Member; Goleta Union School District

I am a candidate because I strongly believe that quality schools are important. My commitment will always be to providing high quality education for the children of the Goleta Union School District, especially during periods of tight funding. I ask for your vote so I can represent your concerns on the school board.

My qualifications include being a parent with children educated in Goleta public schools; a UCSB professor who respects the value of good early education; a research psychologist specializing in how students learn math, science, and reading; a college textbook author who is familiar with effective instructional methods; an incumbent with 27 years of valuable experience on the Goleta school board; and a taxpayer and neighbor living in Goleta for 34 years.

If you elect me, I will strive:

To always remember the interests and needs of our most precious resource--children.
To work for high quality education based on high standards for every child.
To be cost-effective in keeping the district within its budget.
To see that our schools are responsive and accountable to the community.
To be available to hear your comments, to encourage your involvement, and to represent all the people within the district.
