​Need a School Board that Governs and Understands Governance 

​

• Board represents the interest of the Student (who is the customer)

• Board needs to promote equal access - not donor access

• ​Term limits needed

• Campaign Finance Reform Needed (no union contributions for school-board members)

• Students First Mentality needs to take hold

• Review and demonstrated understanding of policies by School Board

• Superintendent works for the School Board (not the other way around) 

• Role of Charter Schools in the District 

ALL STUDENTS have EQUAL access to pursue their passions in our High Performing District.

​

• Special Education 

• Athletics​

• Extra-Curriculars 

• High Performing means College and/or Career Bound Path for ALL Students

District needs to address the whole-student and support their success.  SDUHSD needs to recognize the interconnectedness between health and education, as well as the need to foster health and well-being at home and in the community.

​

• Drug Cultures on Campuses

  • Legalized Marijuana effects on our campuses

  • Regular drug tests for ALL staff.  No tolerance policy in our District for everyone; not just students.

• Bullying (what does this mean in our District?)

• Later Start Times (options)

• Overcrowding is a problem. Lottery may need to be re-evaluated.

• Campus Security (where are the cameras?)

• Where is the leadership?   Principals should not be more concerned with the rights of donors over the rights of students.

• Student's should not fear saying something when they are not comfortable

If a school is transparent, people can be held accountable for their actions; allowing Students to excel.

​

• District Budgets

  • Site budgets (School inequities (utilities, counseling, fundraising, etc)

  • Foundations do not run the school/ need clear lines between the District and the Foundations.  All Donations by Foundations need to be accepted by the School Board.

• Employee Contracts – need to be clear and in the open and available for public comment.  Contracts need no tolerance clauses

• School Board needs to converse in Public Session and stop perceived Brown Act Violations -- We need to know our School Board Members know their job and to conduct the District's business in the public domain. 

• Open Communication    

  • Board meetings should be video recorded - ACCOMPLISHED in 2018.
