I believe that my extensive
background and experience in the business world will enable me to establish
an open, honest, and efficient management system for our district. As
a successful business owner and manager, I understand the importance of
strong fiscal management and the need to effectively respond to challenges
facing our district. For far too long, we have seen a school board
more interested in self-promotion rather than true leadership – I fully
commit to reversing that trend and putting the interests of the community
and students first.
With my own child poised to enter
Galt High School, I have a deep interest in the quality of education in this
district and will work hard to create the kind of district of which we can
all be proud.
- Our community
deserves the TRUTH, even if it isn’t pleasant.
- Our community
deserves Board Members that understand their role.
- Our community
deserves a Board that works together, is honest with each other and the
public.
- Our community is
entitled to a Board that will listen to all concerns, even if they don’t
agree.
- Our community
deserves business decisions made in a timely manner.
- Our community
deserves a School Board that supports administration and educators

Community Involvement
I became politically active during the Measure G campaign, the $30
million bond failure that would have built a $6 million office building for
8 administrators.
.
Before the election I had the pleasure of serving on the new Liberty Ranch Independent
Oversight Committee. The committee is charged with overseeing the design and
construction of the new high school. We are currently $10 over budget and
hoping to see a completed set of plans before September 2006.

I am also founder of the
Galt Lady Hoop Basketball Club,
a non-profit girls and boys basketball program in Galt that proudly supports
Galt High Basketball. Lady Hoop players have participated in winning Sierra
Valley Conference championships the last 2 years.
