- Increasing Resources in our Schools
-
Margaret will be a forceful, dedicated advocate at all levels of government to see that public schools get the resources they need. She will be firm in defending our funding streams and advocating for more, because California's education system is desperately underfunded.
- Preparing All Children for College and Career Success
-
Margaret supports a rich curriculum that is equally available to all our children -- so that children in every school in every neighborhood have the opportunity to study science, language, history, geography, social studies, literature, mathematics, physical education -- and the arts.
- Full-Service Community Schools
-
Margaret will maximize the value of our schools by making them the centers of each community -- places where children and families are welcome and have opportunities to grow, learn and get needs met all day, every day.
