- District-wide Student Achievement Plan
 - 
I have the skills and demonstrated leadership to engage our school and wider community in the open, inclusive, and interest-based dialogue necessary to address student achievement from kindergarten through 12 grade in a comprehensive, effective and finacially sustainable way.
 - District Budget and Finance
 - 
By 2007, the Superintendent projects that the District will not be able to balance its budget and will be again in a deficit due to declining enrollment and increasing costs. As Assistant to the Emeryville City Manager, I have extensive budget and finance experience.
