Issue Position: More Funding For Schools

Issue Position

There is no better investment our state government can make than in the education of our children. As a student that had to work to overcome a language barrier and former teacher, I learned how important a quality education is in overcoming economic and social barriers and ensuring the success of our children. California's public education system was once the envy of the nation. But as Sacramento took over decision making from local communities, our students began to suffer. Cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all solutions do not work across the board in California. As a school board member, I have seen the benefit of allowing local communities the freedom to decide how to best educate their students. I will work to put more control back in the hands of our school districts, school boards, and teachers.
