James Brian Vlahos For School Board 2014By James "Brian" VlahosCandidate for Board Member; Roseville City School District | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
Dear Friends, In 2010, I was fortunate enough to have been elected, by you, as a Trustee to the Roseville City School Board. It has been an absolute honor to serve you, your children and our community in this capacity. I have made the decision to once again run for this position and I would be honored to have your vote and support. For those of you who don't know me, I am a third generation Roseville Citizen. I received my education in the Roseville City School and Roseville High School Districts, graduating from Roseville High School in 1984. As well, my children attended, and have since graduated in the Roseville public school systems. The education we have all been provided has served us well and it is my desire to continue to provide our children with the best public education possible. When I ran for my first term the economy was at rock bottom and the fiscal crisis was hitting our schools hard. I ran for the position of Trustee with a genuine intent to help manage the crisis and give something back to my community. By doing so, in the last 4 years I have had to make several tough choices. The guiding principle behind any of my decisions is based on the following two questions:
1.Cohesiveness: Now is not the time to change a School Board that works and interacts well together. The current team/School Board has demonstrated its ability to tackle the hard problems and administer positive solutions. 2.Experience: It takes time to understand the in's and out's of in California Education system. School Budgets, Education Services and Human Resources are not simplistic institutions. Experience is the key to navigating such channels successfully. Note: I filled an vacant seat. 3.High Standards: The Citizens of the Roseville Community demand and expect the high standards that the RCSD has established for its self. That reputation is one of the main reasons Business's and Families want to locate here. Keeping that reputation strong brings opportunity and prosperity to this region. As previously stated, it will take courage, experience and a real sense of community to stay the course and make the absolute right decisions for our Children and Community. I have these qualities along with strong commitment to service. I would be honored to have your vote and support in 2014 to be re-elected as a Roseville City School Board Trustee. With gratitude, James Brian Vlahos |
