Board Member; Brentwood Union School District

This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate

My name is: Jim Cushing

My age is: 64

My occupation is: Entrepreneur/Educator

Education and Qualifications:

I hold a Masters in Early Childhood Education from the School of Education at Stanford University. I created the infant Toddler program at Bing Nursery on Stanford Campus. I taught at Nueva Day School for the Gifted in Hillsborough for 5 years and Kindergarten at Twins Creeks Elementary in San Ramon.

My two children attend our fine schools; one at Krey and my Daughter is the ASB President for Heritage H.S.

As Parents we spend our lives raising our children and praying that our tax dollars, supporting our children's education, provide them with a" hand up and not simply a handout". For the majority of our children their education is the cornerstone for realizing their future and the lives of their own families. We owe it to each of them, to ensure that the monies we spend in pursuit of their education support excellence. Comparing ourselves to other less fortunate communities is not a goal. We have a good young educational foundation that can become great and with your help and vote I will work to realize the dreams' you have for your children and family.
