He said his service on the Kern County Dental Society Board is good experience for making formal decisions. He thinks there should be more formal procedures at KCCD for deciding if actions are constructive. We need to work collaboratively, including the faculty, students and administration. Right now, the faculty and administration are not functioning well together. Beebe said he is interested in working on improving processes at the district.
Education is the great equalizer.
I want to maintain the pride and quality. McCarthy said the most important issues facing the district are maintaining quality and great professors, improving accountability and making sure dollars are in the classrooms. You can't deliver a quality education with fighting going on. We've got to provide students with the education they need. I would like to be an individual on the board who brings people together and heals some wounds.
