Political Philosophy for Debbie Locke

Candidate for
Governing Board Member; Berryessa Union School District

Ensuring the best quality of education available for Berryessa Schools. We must provide a thriving working environment for our teachers and administrators to ensure the best atmosphere for our children to learn. By working with the teachers and the parents, listening to their needs, we can most certainly ensure our children will be successful with best education available today, in a setting that will continue to help our children grow.

Working with the parents, community members, staff, administrators and teachers to guarantee prosperous students. I will commit to working with the needs of our community members in the Berryessa School district to effectively educate our children. While at UCLA I volunteered as a mentor for girls that were "at risk." We worked to help these girls stay in school and to seek a higher education. I believe our community, with the help of the school board, must develop a stronger mentoring program to encourage our children to want to be better people, and to have hope for an even better society.
