Ballot Statement

By Shelly Masur

This is the statement provided to voters in the sample ballot

I believe that all children deserve a quality education that meets their needs and prepares them to be productive members of society.

I believe that parent involvement is key to student success. Schools must work with parents, provide opportunities for involvement, and be responsive to their suggestions and concerns.

I believe that sound fiscal management coupled with community partnerships is the most effective way to ensure that our schools offer the best education possible.

So I make the following promises to you:

I will work hard for our children. I will continue the work I've started in working with schools and parents to make sure Redwood City provides an excellent education for all its students.

I will be available to you. It is important for the community to feel comfortable talking to their school board members. We are elected by and are accountable to you.

I will continue to look for ways to leverage the resources we have by fostering collaboration with the City of Redwood City, community based organizations and the district.
