Bookbinder Report Card

By Marta I. Bookbinder

An evaluation of time spent serving as a trustee -- a performance evaluation listing tasks accomplished

• Upheld the public's right (your right) to address the Board and continuously asked for your input.

• Involved parents as valued decision makers for their children.

• Fostered students' leadership and participation in school decisions and advocated on their behalf at every level.

• Preserved programs and monitored spending to benefit Jefferson School District students and staff.

• Revised school policies (as pledged) to keep current with law changes.

• Renovated all the schools' playground equipment as promised to ensure students' safety.

• Fought to preserve the land in which we built our new Susan B. Anthony School (opened in 1998), a site that was needed to ease overcrowding on the east side of Daly City.

• Implemented the Conflict Management curriculum at all schools, training students to be conflict managers and peer counselors, to communicate their disagreements with words while working out solutions to their problems.
