Priorities

In my heart, I am an educator. So, my focus is to work hard on behalf of all students and families of South San Francisco Unified School District, building connections and opening doors to ensure that every child thrives, all voices are valued and we move forward to address inequities. I value that the 15 schools of South San Francisco Unified tailor education programs that are unique to the micro-communities they serve. As we navigate the COVID19 pandemic, students, families and staff all need more support than ever with a careful and thoughtful eye to equity. It is critical all schools include:

• Highly Qualified Educators
• Fully Filled Classified Positions
• Opportunities for Ongoing Professional Growth for all Staff
• Strong and Effective Communication
• Collaboration
• Safe School Campuses
• Positive School Climate
• Fully Staffed Departments
• Equitable Access to Rich Educational Experiences for all Students
• Opportunities to Ensure all Graduates are Career and College ready
• Environments that Welcome Students, Families and Community Volunteers
• Opportunities for Families and the Community to get Involved

As Trustee for the South San Francisco Unified School District, it is my goal to ensure that these priorities provide the foundation of all schools in a fiscally responsible manner. As such, my key areas of focus include:

• Transparency
• Accountability
• Responsible Management of Fiscal Resources
• Leveraging Partnerships to Strengthen the Quality of Opportunities Available to Students
• Attracting and Retaining Quality Staff
• Closing the Opportunity Gap
• Engaging with the Different School Communities
