Candidate for
Board Member; Galt Joint Union Elementary School District

John's Intent. My commitment is to all students attending the schools in the Galt Elementary School District. Additionally, I am committed to being fair and accessible to the parents of our students. Finally, my commitment extends to the administrators and teachers of our seven school sites to promote the most successful outcomes for our children.

As a school board member, I will act in the interest that promotes successful educational outcomes for all students in our school district.

I will advocate for:

Equity.
I want to ensure that all students have the same learning opportunities regardless of what school they are attending. As a parent whose children attended two different elementary schools in the district, I noticed a difference between the schools. I would like to find ways to bridge the ideas and programs that are successful in one school and consider the possibility of incorporating them into other schools.

High Academic Achievement.
Every student should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that promotes individuals to reach their potential.

Successful Transition to High School and Beyond.
I believe that the elementary and high school districts can successfully partner to ensure our middle school students are ready for high school. All students should have skills that would provide them an opportunity for a successful and productive life beyond high school. Through academic rigor and/or career technical education, there are several paths we can prepare for our students that will lead to success.
