Official Ballot Statement

Catherine Bonnar
Occupation: Parent; Attorney

Education & Qualifications:

As a 12 year resident of Belmont, I value the fine education our elementary and
middle schools provide our children. My husband, Dennis Roseman, and I
currently have children in both Central Elementary School and Ralston Middle
School. I have served on the site council at each school, and have held various
PTA offices at Central, including: 1st vice president in charge of fundraising;
newsletter editor; and parent education chairperson (during which we initiated
the popular "Family Night" programs with the Lawrence Hall of Science). This
year I served as a parent representative to the district's principal search
committee.

As the school district faces the continuing challenges of rapid growth, I want
to help ensure quality programs and to provide the best possible education to
all of our children. I am committed to small class size; to strong science and
math programs and to continued financial responsi-
bility. I also believe the Board must strive to achieve a balance between
technology and other programs, including those in the visual and performing
arts.

I am employed as a senior attorney by the First Appellate District, Court of
Appeal. (Stanford University, JD; Pitzer College, BA).

I would appreciate your vote.
