Candidate for
Trustee; San Jose/Evergreen Community College District; Trustee Area 6

Six Point Plan for Responsible Change

1. Stop the fiscal mismanagement in the district now! As reported by the state's FCMAT report, "It is evident from fieldwork that senior management officials have spent district funds lavishly and have not always adhered to employment contracts or district policies in the process."

2. Responsible Oversight in the District, and an improved relationship with the board and the multiple interests (faculty, staff, students and community).

3. Careful management of the limited funds for education and independent audits to ensure the financial resources entrusted to the district are spent wisely.

4. Term Limits. Long-term membership often leads to complacent and negligent oversight.

5. Transparency through Sunshine policies so the conflicts of interest are clearly known. Open books. Open the Foundation. Limit closed sessions bring communities together and mend the broken relationships.

6. Improve the educational product and restore the tarnished reputation.
