Questions & Answers

1. What is the single most important issue facing LACCD today? How, as Trustee, would you deal with it?

Student Success is the single most important issue facing LACCD today. As a Trustee, my commitment will be to sustain a student success agenda using the LACCD's Strategic Plan and the "Achieving the Dream" Initiative. The LACCD's participation in "Achieving the Dream" Initiative is a major step forward in education reform.

Advocate and champion President Obama's proposal to have two-years of free tuition for deserving students. Student success rates would improve dramatically and be an incentive for students to perform well.

Ensure the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act scheduled for implementation July 1,2015 is fully implemented at the LACCD. Student Success rates will improve with the introduction and implementation of this Act.
