Top Priorities if Elected |
- REFORM: Provide ALL K-12 students with strong math, science, social studies, music, art and languages as well as literacy instruction
- REFORM: Provide curriculum, materials and instruction to meet high state standards and enable San Diego students to pass 2001 CA high school exit exam

- THE "BLUEPRINT"
-
The "Blueprint": experimenting on our kids
- EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING
-
I am a fiscal conservative, so I vote to spend our billion dollar budget on classroom teaching and learning -- NOT on unaccountable consultants, lawyers, poorly designed programs, and an expensive land deal.
- MORE MATH AND SCIENCE NEEDED
-
San Diego is recognized internationally as a center for bioscience, technology and communication, yet San Diego Unified School District has reduced instruction in math and science.
