Candidate Statement

By Craig Mann

I want to thank you for placing your trust in me and allowing me to serve our school community for the past two years.

Education and Qualifications:

MBA, University of Phoenix; BSBA, San Jose State University; 18 years of private industry experience, member of the board of directors of MACSA, and vice president of the East Side Union High School District board of trustees.

I want to thank you for placing your trust in me and allowing me to serve our school community for the past two years. I promised to help set high performance standards, to help ensure that our children have a safe school environment, to help hold school professionals accountable, and to turn our shared vision of better schools into a reality.

I've led and supported initiatives to include an $80 million investment to build safe and successful schools, three-year labor agreements with our bargaining units, and a corporate partnership, which will increase student resources by $10 million. I've also championed operational and educational audits finding $2 million of systemic savings and solutions to improving student achievement, and new graduation requirements to prepare our students for today's jobs.

Yes, we can have better schools, and with your vote on November 7th, I'll continue to work for you and our children. I thank you for your support.
