IT'S ABOUT THE KIDS

I promise to continue to put the kids first. Every decision I have made on the board has always started with one simple question, how this will affect our children.

This philosophy has resulted in the following successes during my current term:

  • Improved test scores, out of the 22 districts in Riverside County, Nuview District had the second highest point gain for 07-08 school year. There were significant point gains at each of the district's four school sites.
  • The Nuview Bridge was recognized as the very best Early College High School in California.
  • The District's Early Childhood Program won the prestigious California Golden Bell Award.
  • Improved school facilities and playgrounds.
  • Safe schools for all our children. According to the California Healthy Kids Survey, the Nuview School District is among the very safest school districts in Riverside County.
  • Universal Pre-school for every four year old regardless of their family's ability to pay.

I will continue to advocate for our children at the local, state and federal level to ensure that the Nuview School District receives its fair share of per student funding. Our district currently receives the lowest total state funding per student in all of Riverside County and this is unacceptable. Our children deserve the very best, and my job will be to see that they receive the very best.

LET"S KEEP BUILDING ON SUCCESS!
