Questions & Answers

1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

As a Fremont Union High School District Board Member I will ensure that the board works with the new superintendent to establish a rigorous planning process that a) establishes priorities for programs b) analyzes the fiscal impact of significant board decisions. I will make sure this process is transparent to the public and district budget information is readily available.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

The district is offering excellent educational opportunities. But it needs to do more to provide options that meet the needs of all students. The district must be comprehensive in providing programs that meet the needs of students with various levels of achievement and educational goals. We also need to make sure programs are available in all of our schools. To move toward this goal we must establish priorities and be creative in finding additional efficiencies to free up funds for these programs.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

Five years from now I want the District to be a model of how to serve all students in a diverse community. Our community serves as a great example of how people from all over our country and the world can accomplish great things by working together. Our school district should likewise be an example of how we can work together to achieve excellence.
