- Academic Excellence
 - 
Boards are responsible to create the conditions that will enable students to meet more rigorous knowledge and performance standards. I am passionately committed to help drive continuous improvement in the quality and breadth of education offered by our schools.
 - The Role and Responsiblity of the Board of Education
 - 
In my view, the Board of Education has the responsibility to ensure high standards and expectations for all. We need to teach the mastery of skills: English language, math, science, history, and music. The best head start any child can have is rigorous instruction in reading and math.
 - My Vision for Gilroy Unified School District
 - 
My vision starts with a high quality, rigorous curriculum in English language, math, science, history, and music.
