Candidate Statement

By Sandra L. Dobbins

Candidate for Board Member; Windsor Unified School District

My qualifications as presented in the Voter's Pamphlet
My dreams for this District are far-reaching, but my understanding of its financial condition is down-to-earth. Careful management is a must, if only to maintain the District's current position. We need practical, frugal guidance to provide resources for our many under-funded needs, and to implement the many outstanding goals that are as yet unrealized.

At home, I have two spectacular young daughters. My husband, and partner for over 20 years, teaches high school, and we've lived in this community for over 13 years. I'm a full-time, full charge bookkeeper and am additionally responsible for all construction matters, including bids and contract issuance.

I've served my children's schools in many ways. I am a founding member of Windsor Unified School District's Budget Advisory Committee; I've served on the site council and recent Superintendent Search Committee. I'm humbled, yet proud to say that in July, I was appointed as the Interim Member to the Board of Trustees.

Today's public school system requires care and nurturing. Due to the knowledge I have of the District's current challenges, having served in a broad spectrum of ways, I believe I can help make the schools a better place for our children. They are the true bottom line.
