- I support public schools, I support communication, I support teachers
 - 
California's new and rigorous standards require more from our students and teachers. The public has every right to expect the same high standards from BCSD board members.
 - Parent Involvement
 - 
I am a strong proponent of  parental involvement, I promise to support the continuation of these programs and expansion of parents as advisors in their children's education. I have and continue to be involved with a number of these activities. I recommend the all. Some of these advisory groups include:
 - Contribute to Jesus Garcia for BCSD School Board

I really appreciate your support...your financial contribution is the most crucial aspect of helping me win his race to represent the community.
