Candidate Statement on Ballot

image174

          Why am I running for a school board that most voters never heard of?  Because I deeply care about education and am frustrated that in the 32 years I have lived in Santa Barbara, we have been unable to improve the academic performance of the public schools. 


          Every year I look at test scores of the students in our schools, and it never ceases to amaze me how poorly we are doing. In most schools in Santa Barbara, more than 50% of students aren’t proficient in math or English. In some schools the percentage is much higher. Now, with this inexplicable decision to close our schools, we know more students will fall behind academically.


          I believe the county superintendent and the board can make a difference if they have a clear and compelling vision to use the powers of this office to make meaningful changes in our schools. There has been a lack of imagination and purpose by members of this board to date. Having run a successful business, I know what it takes to accomplish far-reaching goals. Please vote for me and together let’s change the status quo and do what we know is right for our kids, so they can realize their future hopes and dreams.
