Candidate Statement

By Stacey Brown

As an active parent, I engaged wherever possible to support the administration and school board to navigate through the difficult decisions they had to make. What I discovered is that I am not alone, there is an abundance of parents and community members who believe strongly that great schools are the foundation of a great community.

I believe that with a success-oriented plan to stabilize Cambrian's budget and flawless execution of that plan, we can thrive in these challenging times. We can bring more people into the conversation, and together we will find the solutions we seek.

With a track record of success growing businesses, creating jobs, and deploying technology to solve complex problems, experience as a Home & School Club president and treasurer, member of the district-level budget information committee, plus a unique perspective on public school education in California with two children in the system and a husband getting established as a teacher, I have the credentials, commitment and passion to make the difference Cambrian needs to thrive in these challenging times.

As I reflect on my own public school education, I never imagined that the quality education I received would not be available to my children. That is what is at stake. Funding for public education is in crisis, and quite frankly I'm worried. I don't think that Cambrian can weather this storm with the status quo. We cannot continue to just cut our way out of the funding problem, we must focus on building. Now is the time for new perspectives and flawless execution.
