Political Philosophy for Leonard Crane

Candidate for
Governing Board Member; Huntington Beach Union High School District

In addition to cleaning up our high schools, bringing back life skills electives and making sure that the money is spent wisely on our children, I am going to work on the following:

1. Improving the Jobs Program. (More and better jobs)
2. Finding a better method of how text books are chosen for our children.
3. Make sure that school policing is monitored by the board.
4. Collect the money that is owed to the school district.
5. Accurate and responsible accounting of all sports monies.
6. Making sure monies raised by the children and parents are spent on the children.
7. Making sports fair and accessible for all that participate. (More games for B, C & D Squads)

My friends consider me Mr. Lucky because of all the small accomplishments in my life. The truth is that I have worked really hard to get these things done. I guess geting things done is being lucky.

I picked a wife that had all the good qualities of my mother and other women whom I admired. Imagine finding her, and I still have her!

The politics started with simply wanting green grass for my son to play football on. When I got that done through dogged pesistance, it is now spreading from one school district to another. Imagine that! I have worked to see a board of education quit arguing over who is the most powerful to working together. They are now solving the children's problems and making our Westminster School District look like new and getting ready for the challenges of the 21st century. I am so proud of these people and the other school districts that are following these footsteps. With the help of the other board members I look forward to doing an even better job with our high schools.

Keeping in mind the following:

1. The safety and welfare of every student.
2. Making sure our students get a complete education, including life skills.
3. The safety and protection of every employee of the H.B.U.H.S district.
4. Maintain and keeping up all high school properties. A well maintained school is the best asset that any town can have.
5. We already have good teachers and principals, we need to support them better.

My philosophy is simple. Start at the bottom and work your way up. Our future is in the hands of these children.

I CAN'T LOOSE IF I DON'T QUIT!
