Candidate for
Board Member; Mount Diablo Unified School District

When I was elected to the Board of Education eight years ago, I'd been a communications professional for 22 years, first for a Fortune 500 company then as principal of my own consulting business. I graduated from Mt. Diablo Unified School District and my daughter recently did as well. During her school years, I was an avid volunteer and parent club president.

Throughout my work life, I have dedicated myself to serving youth. My experience in business is among the many strengths I bring to Mt. Diablo Unified School District. I have

• facilitated business and labor partnerships with our schools, and
• insisted policies integrate career studies into core curriculum. I have helped teachers, students, and business leaders interact through
• workshops,
• science fairs, and
• summer camps in such fields as engineering, construction, manufacturing, health, biotechnology, and environmental sciences.

• updated graduation requirements;
• increased graduation rates;
• improved student achievement;
• expanded students' access to honors and extracurricular programs;
• created and strengthened career pathways in high schools;
• leveraged more than $350 million to modernize school facilities;
• improved services for students with special needs; and
• greatly expanded both afterschool and preschool programs. All this was accomplished while balancing the budget every year -- on time.

• attract and retain high quality employees through competitive compensation and
• continue to improve student achievement. To this end I will seek new revenue sources.

I am committed to working with the entire MDUSD community for comprehensive school change for our students.

Your vote for APRIL TREECE ensures our children's future.
