With this user friendly budget, the general public can see exactly where there tax money is going. It is the responsibility of the committee and ultimately the School Board to make sure that everything is made public and proper expenditures are occurring. I will be there to lead the parade to get the state to support lowering class size in the 4th through 6th grades by giving us more monies. I feel that lowering the class size in our upper elementary grades will increase student achievement. Until that happens, I feel an instructional assistant should be assigned to each upper grade class to work with small groups of students.
Every child can learn if given the opportunity.
The finest education I have ever received has been through the California School Employees Association. I learned the importance of good communications through newsletters, media and meetings by serving as CSEA State Chairperson and committee member for the Public Relations Committee for seven years. As a member of the State Education Committee, I have encouraged Districts and CSEA chapters to sponsor CSEA workshops at their site. In an ongoing effort to have the most qualified employees working for our District, we continually offer training throughout in Orange County. Classified employees working in the Buena Park School District have been very fortunate over the years.
