Candidate's Platform:

I am running for the School Board of the San Bruno Park Elementary School District. I believe in excellence in public education and raising the bar so that students will be successful in today's world.
I want San Bruno to have the best schools available and be a source of community pride. I would like to see the San Bruno schools become known for quality curriculum and instruction. Every child should be given the opportunity to reach his potential.
As a former teacher I have taught in every school in San Bruno and feel I would have good input as a member of the School Board.
