Education in Castro Valley Unified

By Janice Friesen

Candidate for Board Member; Castro Valley Unified School District

Why I am running again.
I am running for re-election to the school board to continue and improve upon our exemplary school district: strong fiscal management, great teaching staff, many state and national recognitions and awards, and business support and recognition of our student achievement and teaching excellence. Our schools provide a community focus, high property values, support for our students and families and wonderful leisure facilities. After 6 years of state cuts, we now enter a time that promises funding stability and slowly growing revenues. The newly passed Local Control state Funding Formula requires planning with parents, teachers, and community, to better insure that all students achieve to their potential. Education promises the best future for our students, our community, and country as a whole. I know from my early board experience how quickly a district can destabilize with too rapid change. With two new board members in the past 2 years, CVUSD has been and will be better served by the stability and continuity that I provide, as well as by my perspective as a holder of a California Pupil Personnel Services Credential and my years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This background provides me with clarity and focus to meet the needs of our students at all grade levels.
