Ballot Statement

By David Forbes

Candidate for Board Member; Alameda Unified School District

This information is provided by the candidate
The reason that I am running for re-election to the AUSD Board of Education can be summed up in three words + ten thousand kids. I believe that over the last four years I have demonstrated a deep commitment to the education of all of AUSD's students.

While I am a parent of four children in the District, my decisions have always been predicated upon what is best for the District as a whole. I am passionate about ensuring that all of our children get the best possible start in life. I have also demonstrated the leadership ability to make the tough decisions that have had to be made. While the last four years have been tough for public education in the State of California, the District, and more importantly, the education of the students in the District, has continued to improve. Employee morale is also vastly improved than when I was elected four years ago.

Over the next four years, with a new Superintendent, we will need to make some tough decisions regarding continuing to improve our educational deliverables in a fiscally sustainable manner. I humbly ask for your support to be part of that District leadership team.
