Ballot Statement
June 3,
2008,
Consolidated Primary Election
I
am completing my fifth year on the County Board
of Education, serving currently as President.
As the incumbent, I will continue to maintain an environment of high
achievement for County students and dignified professional conditions for
teachers and staff. I have visited and
learned of initiatives at many schools throughout our region. My voice on the Board has
been heard in setting policy for the County Office. I am well versed
in the duties of the Board, and well qualified to hold this office. I was elected by my
peers to serve as Board President and Vice President, and to two terms as a
representative to the County School
Boards
Association. I hold a strong record of
community leadership and have been recognized with commendations
and achievement awards. I am an educator
with a Ph.D. degree, have lived and worked in Spain and Mexico and am bilingual,
and served as a Fulbright Exchange Administrator to Thailand. I am now Vice President of Educational
Services at the Moreno Valley Campus of Riverside Community
College. I know Area 3, and I know our County. I commit my abilities and energy to continuing
to serve you. Thank you for your vote.
