ENDORSEMENTS FROM OUR LOCAL PAPERS

The Almanac writes:

"Allen Weiner has been a dynamic force during his four years on the board. He wants to continue working toward closing the achievement gap and moving the district leadership toward evaluating existing and future programs through strategic, data-driven assessment to achieve the best possible results. We believe he deserves another term."

The San Mateo Daily Journal says:

"We recommend incumbent Allen Weiner. [He] is a thoughtful and dynamic school trustee who applies a high level of academic prowess when discussing issues both great and small. He is tremendously well-versed in the business of the district and can rein in the pull to be bold just for the sake of being bold. The board has made tough choices in the time he has been serving, and the district is better because of his participation."
