1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

Answer from Danielle M.S. Cohen:

Evaluation of spending is done by regular attendance at Board Meetings, and thorough review of budget and spending updates by District staff.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

Answer from Danielle M.S. Cohen:

I feel Campbell is doing an excellent job addressing the diverse needs of our students, but a goal such as this one needs constant attention. As a Board member, it is my duty to ensure this issue does not get forgotten.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

Answer from Danielle M.S. Cohen:

I would like CUSD to continue to be fiscally strong, innovative in our educational methods, and successful in our goal of meeting the educational needs of all students. To achieve this, our District must continue to hire and keep the best and brightest teachers, administrators and staff - and we must work together to stay ahead of the bureaucracy that can bog down public school districts in California.
