Put children first: Support the highest quality instructional program for ALL children by providing ongoing professional development for ALL staff and Board Members Promote safe, clean schools, as well as nutritious breakfast, lunch,          and snack programs Continue the high quality counseling support programs Get parents involved in their children’s education: Provide many opportunities for parents to learn more about the curriculum and how they can partner with teachers Promote increased student attendance to support instruction and increase district revenues despite lower State funding Make it easier for teachers and staff to excel: Provide ongoing professional development and training for all staff Provide instructional programs in the same year that the state adopts them to ensure that professional development is available and paid for by the state, not the school district Our school board must provide the leadership: Communicate effectively and cooperatively with teachers, staff, and parents Locate new budgetary resources for the district, schools, and special programs. (This is what I do currently as a school district administrator.) As a board member, I will balance the needs of students, the freedom of teachers and staff, and the need for oversight and accountability by the district and the Redondo Beach community.
