Jesús M. Escandón for LAU School Board District #7

MESSAGE It is crucially important, and we must act now, to support/re-structure Public Education so that every child has an opportunity in life.

Cut Waste and Bureaucracy

• Dismantle remaining local district offices
• Dollars directly to the classroom
• Terminate high paid consultants and attorneys

• Budget sovereignty to active stakeholders within the school site council
• Power over curriculum and instruction to teachers who are the true and real CEO's in each classroom
• Support must go directly to teachers, para-professionals, students, parents, and community members

• California must move to first (1st) of fifty (50) states in per pupil education spending
• Teachers must be able to "afford to teach" in order to retain experience and attract quality to the profession

• Adequate resources and full support must be allocated
• Schools in communities of color must be a priority, not ignored
• Drastically cut class size at all grades
• Smaller learning communities
• Safe and Clean Schools
