Candidate for
Trustee; Capistrano Unified School District; Trustee Area 2

The current CUSD Board of Trustees has reduced the school year, cut teachers and increased class size. We can't afford another "all cuts" budget. Now more than ever, our school board must focus on education and not union contracts that protect senior staff.

A change in leadership is needed. Together we can put students first.

I'm a parent, engineer, active business owner, and a founder of a successful educational non-profit. I am able to see past the heated rhetoric of education insiders to protect our students and schools. I favor classroom reform, school choice, local control, and program improvement.

I will fight for:

Smaller class sizes,
A quality education for all students, and
Retention of enrichment, vocational and sports programs.

Your tax dollars cannot be wasted. I promise never to vote for a tax increase or extension. We pay enough tax and Mello-Roos assessments already.

To improve transparency between CUSD and community, we will begin broadcasting our school board meetings. Parents have a right to know how decisions are being made.
