Karen Monroe's Candidate Statement for the November 2014 General Election.
Thank you for making me the top vote getter in the June Primary. I have dedicated my life to public education. As a mother, 22-year educator, teacher, education technology specialist, principal, and currently as Associate Superintendent of the Office of Education, I am committed to protecting Alameda County's local quality of education. Everyday I work for 10,000 teachers and 218,000 children attending Alameda County public schools. I develop training and support for hardworking teachers. I fight for safe schools and student health and wellness, because safe and healthy children make better learners.

I open doors for new technologies to improve teaching, learning, and successful college and career pathways in the Digital Age. I provide fiscal leadership for 18 Alameda County school districts whose budgets we oversee. I will be a superintendent who works effectively in government, restoring funding, and delivering educational services efficiently while saving taxpayers money. I am qualified, experienced, and ready for this job. Please join teachers, parents, students, youth advocates, business leaders and citizens in every area of our county supporting my candidacy.

Help me lead the charge for world-class 21st Century schools. Vote Karen Monroe for Alameda County Superintendent of Schools on November 4th, 2014. Thank you.
