Kate Livingston for school board

By Kate Livingston

Candidate for Board Member; Cabrillo Unified School District

This information is provided by the candidate
Put an educator on the school board
I am a retired teacher with 37 years experience in the classroom. It was all about putting students first. The Governing Board must make the classroom the highest priority. As a Board Member, I shall always ask "How does this affect the students in the classroom?"

I offer a unique perspective as an educator. I had firsthand knowledge of the needs and challenges that students faced. I can help to strengthen an effective and efficient organization, reaching students, parents, staff and the community-at-large. I am a team player and will work to build a strong community, encourage open and positive communications, and will be responsive to stakeholders.

I agree that the primary responsibility of the Governing Board is to act in the best interest of every student in the district.

I retired from teaching one year ago. I am fortunate to have the daytime hours to devote to this job. I am comfortable on a school campus and believe that spending time with students, parents and staff in a school setting is a positive way to work together.

Thank you.
