Candidate Statement in November Ballot

By Nicole Marie Bergeron

Here is a summary of my priorities and why I'm running.

Education and Qualifications: I am the product of San Carlos schools (Brittan Acres, Central, San Carlos High until it closed and then Carlmont High) and my kids have attended White Oaks and Central. I am passionate about our local schools. Today, our district is innovative and high performing, with very engaged educators and parents. I will work to make the district even stronger, bringing the highest quality education possible to each of our schools and to every one of our students. Our growing enrollment, planned facilities upgrades, professional development goals and designs for 21st Century learning experiences are exciting. Our wonderful schools strengthen our community. I offer a diverse array of experience: school site council and parent leader, former foundation and non-profit executive, non-profit board member, and education and housing advocate. I am not shy about pushing for excellence and I will be steadfast in demanding accountability and transparency. I also know how to collaborate and bring people together. To that end, I am proud to have the support of all five current school board members, as well as numerous civic and community leaders. I ask for your support.
