                  Statement of AMY MARGOLIS, Candidate for
                           Governing Board Member
   Occupation: City Finance Director
   Education and Qualifications:
   
   My decision to serve on the Los Altos School Board is motivated by my
   belief that our good schools must be made even better. We must provide
   our children with community schools that have safe and uncrowded
   classrooms and facilities. We must find creative ways to provide more
   individual instruction to children not lucky enough to benefit from
   the State's class size reduction program. (Fifteen classrooms in
   grades 4-6 are expected to have 30 or more students this year!) We
   must also assure that students develop strong basic language and
   writing skills.
   
   Having spent over 20 years analyzing budgets as a municipal finance
   officer, I will bring to the Board experience in ways to make the most
   of limited government resources. This experience is enhanced by
   knowledge of the District gained through volunteer activities as my
   two children have moved through the Los Altos schools for the last 10
   years. I have volunteered in classrooms, served on the LAEF Board, as
   Chair of the Bullis and Egan Site Councils, on the Bullis PTA Board in
   numerous positions, on the District's Long Range Planning/Eastbrook
   Committee and as a volunteer for all three "Measure A" campaigns.
