Candidate for
Board Member; Tustin Unified School District

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

For twelve years as a school board member, I have successfully advocated for fundamentals + quality phonics-based reading instruction, strong professional development, basic skills instruction, rigorous standards, clear accountability, prudent budget decisions, needed facilities improvements and quality new schools to meet the needs of our growing district. Three new high school science centers reflect growing demands for technology instruction.

As a parent and homeowner here in our community, my focus is having high quality neighborhood schools that are continually improving. It is high quality neighborhood schools that provide all children with an outstanding education, support our local economy and home values, and contribute in many ways to making this a great community in which to live!

The result is even more excellent schools contributing to strong neighborhoods. Students achieve steadily improving test scores and admission to respected colleges. TUSD earned 16 California Distinguished School awards in the past five years. Every middle and high school earned a "9" or "10" statewide or against similar schools. All middle and high schools won recognition in the past two years from the California Business for Education Excellence + as have the large majority of our elementary schools.

I am a former corporate chief financial officer. Auditors and examiners give TUSD the highest ratings for prudent fiscal management. My education includes a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Claremont McKenna College and an MBA from Harvard University. I know what it means and what it takes for students to get into the best colleges and universities.

In challenging times, our schools need proven leaders with proven vision and proven results. Please vote for Lynn Davis to protect taxpayers, maintain safe schools and support increasing excellence in our school district.
