Statement of AMANDA JACKSON MILLER,Candidate for Governing Board Member Soquel Union Elementary School DistrictMy top priority is ensuring the highest quality education to prepare our children for lifelong learning and achievement. To this end, I will continue working to narrow the achievement gap and challenge every student. I have three children, two of whom attend elementary school in our district. As a regular classroom volunteer for six years and vice president of the Home & School Club for four years, I have led many successful fundraisers and organized a variety of activities to enrich the classroom for all students. I also served on district-wide committees before being appointed as a Soquel Union Elementary School District board member in December 2013. A product of local public schools, I earned a B.A. from Wesleyan University and a J.D. from Santa Clara, after which I served as an attorney for a nonprofit domestic violence agency and shelter. In recent years, I have been a CASA advocate and Girl Scout troop leader. As a parent volunteer, I understand the issues facing our local public schools, and I have applied collaborative problem solving and critical thinking to improve them. This experience gives me the perspective and insight to serve as Trustee. I would be honored to receive your vote. vote-amanda.com |
