- The Superintendent's Role is Key to the Future of Public Education in San Mateo County
-
We empower teachers and school districts to raise student
achievement by providing top-quality teacher training and
curriculum assistance. We facilitate world-class educational
opportunities for our students by insisting on local control of our
schools, adequate funding with no "strings" attached, and strict
fiscal accountability in the way our tax dollars are spent. I will see
that these things happen!
