San Bruno Park School Board Candidates' Forum
Oct. 12 2015
A
A
Okay,
we
will
begin
again:
I
am
an
Kachins,
a
member
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters
of
north
and
central
san
mateo
county.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
san
bruno
park
school
district
for
sponsoring
this
forum
tonight.
The
League
of
Women
Voters
is
a
nonpartisan
political
organization
of
both
men
and
women,
whose
purpose
is
to
promote
active
and
informed
participation
in
government.
We
appreciate
the
interest
in
efforts
of
groups
such
as
San
Bruno's
park
school
districts
in
presenting
events
that
increase
voters,
knowledge
about
the
candidates
and
issues.
A
The
purpose
of
tonight's
forum
is
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
all
the
candidates
to
be
heard
at
one
time
and
to
be
questioned
by
you,
the
audience.
We
hope
that
by
bringing
the
candidates
and
voters
together,
face-to-face
voters
will
be
better
informed
and
will
make
wise
decisions
on
Election
Day.
We
appreciate
your
interest
in
coming
out
to
learn
more
about
the
candidates.
A
Tonight.
You
will
hear
from
the
candidates
for
the
San
Bruno
Park
School
District
governing
board.
There
are
four
candidates
for
to
see
the
term
of
office
is
four
years
in
the
interest
of
time
in
fairness
to
the
candidates.
Please
hold
your
applause
to
the
end
of
the
form.
We
can
thank
all
of
the
candidates
with
our
applause
at
that.
A
A
The
candidates
in
alphabetical
order
are
ms
jennifer
blanco.
Mr.
kevin
martinez,
mr.
andrew
mason
and
mr.
Chuck
selmak,
the
rules
for
the
forum
are
as
follows:
each
candidate
will
have
three
minutes
for
an
opening
statement.
During
the
question
period,
each
candidate
will
have
one
minute
to
answer.
All
candidates
will
have
an
easy
time
to
speak
to
the
question.
Even
if
the
question
is
addressed
to
only
one
candidate,
each
candidate
will
have
two
minutes
for
a
closing
statement.
Our
timekeeper
is
Marie
Valdiserri.
A
The
timekeeper
will
hold
up
warning
signs
when
the
candidate
has
one
minute,
then
30
seconds
left
of
the
allotted
time.
At
the
end
of
the
time,
the
time
people
will
hold
off
the
stop
sign
until
the
candidate
quit
speaking,
questions
from
the
audience
will
be.
In
writing.
The
essure
has
cards
for
you
to
write
down
your
questions,
raise
your
hand
and
the
usher
will
bring
paper
and
pencil
to
you.
Please
write
legibly
and
keep
your
questions
brief
questions
of
a
personal
nature
and
personal
invective
will
be
out
of
order.
Our
usher
is
Mary,
no
brika.
A
Please
raise
your
hand
when
you
are
ready
to
have
her
pick
up
your
questions.
All
questions
come
to
me
and
I
will
sort
the
questions
by
subject
and
try
to
cover
a
variety
of
subjects.
We
seldom
have
time
to
ask
all
questions
and
I
will
rephrase
and
combine
questions
at
times.
We
will
now
begin
with
opening
statements.
The
candidates
have
drawn
lots
to
determine
the
order
in
which
they
will
speak.
Each
candidate
has
three
minutes
for
the
opening
statement.
Our
first
candidate
is
mr.
Chuck
selmak.
B
B
But
we
overcome
those
issues
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
try
to
do
in
this
upcoming
election
is
establish
a
budgetary
system
so
that
we
don't
have
these
deficits
year
after
year
after
year.
In
closing
of
my
introduction
type
remarks,
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
in
tonight's
process
you
already
should
have
a
ballot
in
your
home,
and
you
may
have
taken
it
out
and
hope
today
or
there's
other
endorsements
that
come
on
lady
on
the
week,
but
give
a
good
thought
to
who
you're
voting
for
what
you
want.
B
C
Going
I'd
like
to
thank
the
legal
him
and
voters
as
well.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
fellow
Sam
burner
residence
and
my
mother-in-law
for
watching
our
three-year-old
son
this
very
evening.
So
I
can
attend
this
event.
My
lovely
wife
is
here
as
well
as
well
as
a
number
of
supporters
of
my
campaign.
I
can't.
Thank
you
enough.
A
little
bit
about
me.
I'm
early
for
Martinez
California,
it's
a
small
refinery,
town
I'm,
one
of
seven
kids,
so
I
know
how
to
work
in
teams
and
work
together
and
I.
C
Think
that's
a
huge
part
of
school
districts.
I've
had
a
job
since
I
was
15
in
a
bank
account
so
I
understand
about
money.
I!
Think
it's
really
important
that
we,
as
Chuck
mentioned
about
you,
know
fiscal
responsibility
and
managing
costs,
and
whatnot
I've
had
every
job
since
fats,
from
fast
food
to
pharmaceutical
manufacturing
to
working
at
the
airport
in
to
working
in
a
weekend,
wedding
hall
in
college,
I'm
really
proud
of
my
work.
C
Life
I
think
it
provides
a
healthy
balance
to
the
to
the
discussion
of
schools,
because
a
lot
of
it
is
your
life
story.
What
you've
done
on
this
planet?
It's
really
important
to
share
that
with
it
with
new
generations.
My
wife
and
I.
Are
we
have
a
three-year-old
son
and
we're
very
concerned
about
the
district
and
not
to
go
into
the
weeds
about
it,
but
you
can
all
read
the
papers
but
I'm.
What
I'm
here
to
do
is
offer
a
new
vision.
C
I
have
16
years,
and
biotechnology
I
believe
that
technology
is
the
way
of
the
future.
Education
is
so
important
as
far
as
STEM
education,
language,
education,
25
years
ago,
this
society
was
filled
with
plenty
of
middle-class
jobs,
and
we
only
spoke
one
language
largely
that's
clearly
changed.
The
future
is
very
different
than
the
one
we
grew
up
in
and
the
one
that
the
past
generations
have
grown
up
in
and
I.
I
really
think
that
you
need
somebody
on
the
board.
You
can
speak
well
to
those
issues:
science,
education,
language
and
whatnot.
D
Evening
to
everyone,
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
before
I
read
my
opening
statement
to
the
league
of
women
voters
into
our
wonderful
school
district
for
sponsoring
this
program
for
our
community
members
and
also
that
I
think
the
members
at
home
were
watching
this
and
also
for
other
commuters.
Who
are
here
to
ask
us
questions.
My
name
is
Jennifer
Blanco
and
for
19
years
I
have
been
involved
in
our
community
for
the
past
eight
years
he
has
been
my
honor
to
serve
as
your
trustee.
D
High
school
I
was
a
founding
board
member
of
the
San
Bernardino
nation.
I
assisted
the
foundation
and
getting
it
started,
supporting
fundraising
programs
and
events
and
promoted
the
foundation
by
providing
outreach
to
the
community
about
is
its
existence.
I
am
a
lifetime
resident
of
san
bruno
and
a
graduate
of
our
school
system.
With
my
own
children
attending
our
public
schools,
I
will
confront
the
challenges
of
our
district
working
to
ensure
the
budgeted.
D
Here's
to
our
district
goals,
which
are
the
El
Cap
I,
will
improve
relationships
with
our
teachers
and
staff
by
respecting
supporting
and
valuing
them
because
they
are
the
lifeblood
of
our
district.
I
will
continue
to
work
to
restore
trust
by
offering
honest
and
open
communication
to
all
members
of
our
school
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
It's
no
exaggeration
to
say
that
our
school
district
is
at
a
crossroads
and
you
might
expect
to
hear
that
during
an
election
campaign
or
during
a
function
such
as
tonight's,
but
I
think
really.
The
issues
are
much
larger
than
that
in
some
ways:
we're
like
school
districts
all
around
the
county
and
the
state
tooling
ourselves
adjusting
to
new
curriculum
in
the
common
core.
E
Two
new
accountability
and
testing
a
new
funding
model
through
the
local
control
funding
formula
and
new
ways
to
ensure
our
programs
reach
all
students
through
the
local
account
local
control,
accountability
plan
or
we're
adjusting
to
our
first
uptick
in
revenue
after
years
of
sustained
pets.
But
we
also
have
special
challenges
like
living
among
the
most
expensive
areas
in
the
state,
without
revenues
to
match
our
diversity.
E
E
From
there.
We
can
seek
broad
input
on
our
goals
and
developing
a
vision
for
what
our
elementary
education
give
me
throughout
San
Bruno.
This
becomes
a
blueprint
for
matching
our
resources
to
our
priorities
where
the
school
district
cannot
do
is
raise
significant,
ongoing
revenue
by
ourselves.
So
this
will
mean
making
our
programs
as
efficient
as
we
can
and,
if
need
be,
to
seek
the
community's
investment
in
our
schools.
The
forge
presenting
might
take
on
our
work
on
behalf
of
Santos
young
students
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
now
it
is
time
for
the
candidates
to
answer
your
questions.
If
you
have
not
written
your
question,
please
do
it
now
raise
your
hand
so
that
the
Essure
can
pick
up
the
written
questions.
Each
candidate
will
have
one
minute
to
answer.
The
question.
I
will
vary
the
order
in
which
the
candidates
are
called
on
to
speak.
If
a
question
is
addressed
to
a
particular
candidate,
that
candidate
will
be
asked
to
answer.
First,
the
other
candidates
may
respond
if
they
wish
and
to
the
candidates.
A
C
That's
a
great
question.
Thank
you.
First
off
like,
as
I
mentioned,
16
years
of
biotechnology
experience
and
that's
in
the
areas
of
manufacturing
wearing
the
full
gauteng
R&D
lab
lab
bench
work.
So,
science,
science
work
investigations
in
antibody,
drug
development,
which
I
think
is
really
important
to
share
with
the
future
of
education
of
san
berdo,
kids
and
also
I've
worked
in
facilities
now
for
about
almost
18
months,
which
we
deal
with
capital
projects.
C
D
Yes,
I
think
my
when
my
assets
have
been
and
what
I
will
continue
to
bring
to
the
community
is
the
this
has
become
a
labor
of
love.
For
me,
this
has
become
my
passion.
My
true
life's
work
I
do
consider
myself
to
be
very
determined,
very
motivated
to
do
what's
right
for
our
community,
and
I
am
very
persistent.
For
example,
I
didn't
give
up
when
we
needed
to
make
a
change
in
our
district
with
new
leadership.
I
consistently
knew
one
day
that
we
were
going
to
get
the
new
leadership.
D
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
believe
one
of
the
strongest
assets
that
I
have
really,
I
think
is
not
just
to
say
through
experience,
but
I,
really
think
integrity
in
the
sense
that
I,
say
and
I'll
always
say.
What's
my
take
on
an
issue
seek
input
from
everyone,
but
but
also
to
kind
of
let
everyone
know
what
my
reasoning
is:
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
votes,
that's
really
where
we
stand
in
the
community.
The
in
this
I
think
that
we're
a
small
enough
community
to
that
really
we
have
to
see
ourselves
as
a
whole.
E
You
know
I
think
in
that
sense,
I
think
my
experience
on
the
board
I've
had
had
the
opportunities
really
look
for
those
kinds
of
partnerships
around
town
and
to
develop
myself
in
the
skills
that
that
I
can
bring
back
even
to
other
board
members
in
and
governance
and
operating
openly
and
fairly
with
everyone.
So
I
think
those
personal
characteristics
earlier.
What
I
go
and
bring
best
Thank.
B
Strongest
assets,
it's
all
in
the
eyes
of
you
hold
her.
For
me,
it
started
out
with
annexation
of
portola,
highland,
specific
skypes
and
spyglass
communities.
We
organize
that
community
we
came
together.
We
got
it
into
the
San
Bruno
system,
I
helped
somewhat
in
the
beginning
for
the
marisol
annexation
program
that
was
successful
this
year.
The
proof
is
in
the
pudding
as
they
say.
When
I
got
on
the
board
I
served
six
years.
We
never
had
deficit
spending
issues
at
all,
even
though
our
budgets
were
extremely
tight
because
there's
never
been
a
district.
B
That's
been
governed
with
a
lot
of
money.
You
move
on
to
the
sale
of
the
Carl
Sandburg
site,
31
million
dollars,
or
just
about
31
million
dollars.
You
talk
about
thinking
outside
of
the
box
with
different
types
of
contracts
that
we've
entered
into
rebuilding
of
parkside
was
that
money
was
used
for
so
really
it
comes
down
to
for
me.
Seeing
what's
been
done
and
I
hold
myself
accountable,
that,
like
I,
said
I've
established
successes
in
many
ways
shapes
or
forms,
and
I
think
I
can
continue
to
do
that
with
the
experience
of
education.
B
A
D
Well,
I
feel
that
that's
already
a
work
in
progress
as
we
speak
with
our
new
leadership.
Many
changes
have
been
made
with
our
new
superintendent
coming
in
with
an
open
and
honest
two-way
communication
between
our
teachers
union
with
our
superintendent.
She
meets
with
them
on
the
first
thursday
of
the
month,
so
that
in
moving
forward,
everyone
knows
where
we're
at.
In
regards
to
a
budget,
we
have
an
open
door
policy.
D
Finally,
where
it's
not
so
much,
the
community
feels
that
information
is
being
hidden
from
them,
so
moving
forward,
repairing
and
restoring
the
trust
in
the
community
is
very
important,
and
that
has
already
like
I
said
it's
a
video
work
in
progress.
That's
going
on
as
we
speak,
and
it's
improving
every
day.
Mr.
E
A
E
Thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that,
in
terms
of
budgetary
think
it's
to
look
at
it
as
just
last
year's
problem.
Sort
of
thing
is
it's
kind
of
a
shorter
view,
then
I
think
we
need
to
take.
We
really
have
to
understand
that
that
the
district's
financial
situation
is
still
quite
tenuous.
You
know
we're
still.
We
still
have
obligations
greater
than
then
what
we
can
fund.
We
can't
raise
revenues
on
our
own.
E
That's
one
thing:
you
know
people
deserve
more
than
what
we
can
can
pay
frequently,
but
there's
nothing
much
that
we
can
do
about
that
if
we
can't
raise
revenues,
so
in
that
sense
we
really
have
to
be
careful.
I
think
this
is
a
time
where
we
we
can
focus
our
energies
really.
I
think,
in
setting
goals
with
broad
input
from
the
community
that
kind
of
sets
the
framework
for
those
things
that
we
see
as
the
most
important
targets
and
in
those
things
I
think
we
can.
E
B
In
Leila's
march,
in
april
of
last
year,
the
county
office
of
education
came
to
this
district
showed
five
consecutive
years
of
over
two
million
dollars
a
year
of
deficit
spending.
That's
a
crisis,
it
just
didn't
happen.
Last
year
it's
been
happening.
What
I
haven't
seen
yet
is
any
actions
on
agendas
that
address
the
issue
of
how
do
we?
Not?
How
do
we
stop
that
from
coming
up
at
the
end
of
a
budget
cycle?
B
There's
been
nothing
address
that,
in
my
opinion,
that's
the
first
thing
that
I
would
do
being
elected
is
to
help
work
with
the
other
board
members
to
establish
a
process
that
we
put
into
place
that
we
don't
end
up
at
the
last
minute
saying
we've
made
a
mistake:
I'm.
Sorry,
when
you
look
at
this
issue,
it
is
drastic.
We've
lost
a
lot
of
good
staff,
we've
lost
families
and
we
lost
the
community's
confidence
and
the
only
you're
gonna
get
that
confidence
back
is
to
establish
trust.
Trust
starts
with.
B
C
What's
critical
is
that
we're
dealing
with
physical
assets
as
well
I
mean
these
are
actual
schools,
with
turf
grass
in
front
and
hedges
and
whatnot
I
worked
under
a
landscaping
contractor
to
college
irrigation
systems,
zero,
scaping
landscaping,
lowering
your
fixed
operating
costs
and
being
mature
about
expenditures
is
really
going
to
keep
you
fiscally
responsible.
It's
going
to
be
transparent
at
the
public
I
think.
Once
you
explain
to
people,
hey
we've
lowered
costs.
C
A
E
I
think
really,
when
I
think
sometimes
it's
easy
to
say
that
for
school,
just
school
boards
that
you
always
say-
oh
that's
just
the
money,
and
but
actually
it
is
in
that
sense
of
providing
the
resources
that
we
know
to
the
needs
that
that
we
feel
are
most
important
there.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
competing
interests.
E
They're
all
you
know
important
goals
and
aims,
but
things
like
reducing
class
sizes
or
you
know
providing
intervention
or
coaching
all
of
those
things
entail
really
providing
more
resources
and-
and
in
that
turns
out
to
then
be
you
typically
a
money
issue.
You
know,
so
I
think
it's
it's
really
defining
those
priorities
and
then
really
trying
to
obtain
the
the
resources
to
address
them.
It's
really
going
to
be
a
challenge,
because
I
think
we
really
have
great
vision
for
what
we
want
district,
but
it's
up
making
that
happen
as
challenge.
B
B
Some
people
call
it
to
provide
for
a
quality
education
going
forward
for
kids
and
kids
are
really
the
focus
here,
because,
with
those
kids
as
quality,
education,
scum
supporting
a
good
work
staff,
not
just
teachers,
office
managers,
principles,
groundskeepers
janitors.
All
those
people
are
highly
needed
to
make
a
successful
school
district,
so
I
think
the
biggest
challenge
we
have
is
setting
a
gold
and
a
commitment
to
providing
every
child
with
the
education
that
will
make
them
successful,
high
school
trade
school
college
and
to
be
productive
adults
here
in
the
United
States.
A
C
C
You've
got
allowed
new
people
in
there
to
look
at
costs
and
look
it.
As
I
mentioned,
landscaping
costs
we're
dealing
with
physical
assets,
the
money
you
sink
into
dealing
with
maintenance
as
far
as
use
of
materials.
When
you
build
construction,
you
know
you've
got
to
make
sure
that
use
the
right
materials
you
can
hvac
systems
and
water
systems
make
sure
you're
efficient
is
possible.
Thank
you.
Miss.
D
Would
say
that
besides
the
budget
and
make
sure
that
we're
no
longer
deficit
spending,
I
would
say
that
it's
our
retention
of
our
teachers
and
staff
this
past
year
we
had
a
very
we
had
a
really
tough
and
rough
year,
and
we
had
a
huge
Exodus
of
a
lot
of
teachers
and
we
lost
a
lot
of
good
teachers
and
but
I
do
acknowledge.
The
teachers
that
chose
to
stay
in
our
district
I
feel
that
we
need
to
capitalize
on
that
and
to
find
ways
to
keep
them
and
I.
D
Think
that
that's
the
way
we're
going
to
keep
them,
make
sure
that
we
support
them
to
provide
a
very
informative
and
educational
professional
development
and
to
also
in
working
for
work
forward
to
providing
them
another
race.
So
teacher
retention
and
teacher
and
staff
retention,
I
think,
is
the
issue
that
we
need
to
work
towards
to
not
have
another
huge
Exodus
again.
Thank.
A
B
Being
a
person
that
has
seen
the
budget
that
doesn't
participate
it
on
a
monthly
basis,
as
a
trustee
might
have
some
knowledge
that
I
don't
have
I
think,
as
mr.
Mason
has
said,
you
know,
containing
costs.
I
know
that
from
past
budgets,
over
the
last
year
that
I've
looked
at,
we
have
a
lot
of
money
going
out
to
outside
services
and
are
those
outside
services
really
something
that
we
can
do
within
with
the
employees
that
we
have
I'm
not
going
to
say
this
magical
statement.
That's
going
to
make
everything
go
great.
B
The
point
is
you
have
to
look
line
by
line
at
these
budgets
and
I
noticed
when
I
was
on
the
board?
There
be
certain
legal
expenses
that
were
outrageous
and
we
bring
that
down
and
say:
hey,
that's
got
to
stop,
but
I
also
think
what's
important
is
that
we
set
up
a
system
so
that
on
every
board
meeting
when
we
look
to
approve
the
expenditures,
we
have
a
road
map.
That
tells
us
are
we
heading
outside
of
that
parameter
of
budget
that
we
wanted
to
stay
within
and
if
we
are
heading
outside
that
parameter?
A
C
Think
the
key
is
definitely
services
so,
for
instance,
if
you
run
special
programs
and
you're
bussing
kids
across
the
district
or
two
different
schools,
that's
that's
a
problem
and
we
should
be
bringing
these
services
in-house
and
managing
them
appropriately,
and
really
we
have
the
power
to
do
it.
We
just
need
to
sit
down
and
look
at
the
books
and
say
well
how
much
money
we
spending
on
say
certain
certain
aspects
of
say,
special
ed
and
what
not
like.
C
A
D
Thanks
a
lot
Andy
I
was
gonna,
speak
I'm
gonna
speak
about
special
ed.
Currently,
actually,
we
are
looking
at
a
lot
of
ideas.
A
lot
of
these
are
being
explored.
Transportation
is
one
of
them
that
aunty
just
mentioned,
and
also
a
couple
of
programs
that
we're
looking
into
taking
it
back
from
the
county
and
bringing
it
in
house
and
also
to
sell
those
seats,
so
as
other
districts
can
pay
us
to
provide
this
service
and
I
think
that
would
be.
That
is,
though,
what
we're
looking
and
working
towards
you
currently.
E
A
E
They
can
be
the
whipping
boy
kind
of
topic
with
I.
Think
from
our
point
of
ignorance,
we
have
to
say
we
have
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
individual
students
from
the
contract
that
we
make
for
them,
but
do
it
in
the
most
efficient
way
and
until
I
think
we're
able
to
do
that.
The
the
amount
of
that
we're
spending
for
this
right
now
is
it's
kind
of
taking
away
flexibility
in
the
district
for
almost
any
other
kind
of
function
that
we
might
do
so.
That
makes
it
that
kind
of
a
priority.
Thank.
A
C
There's
there's
definitely,
there
needs
to
be
a
more
healthy
conversation
as
far
as
like
Rach.
What
do
we?
What
can
we
do
is
a
district
to
retain
teachers
and
staff.
I
mean
there's.
If
you
look
at
other
cities,
they
talk
about,
you
know
student,
housing
or
teacher
housing,
or
you
know
some
sort
of
benefits.
C
I
know
there
was
a
first
time
homebuyer
program
for
for
teachers
like
so
you
invest
in
teachers
to
stay
in
your
community,
I
think
the
bid
it's
it's
really
critical
that
we
reach
out
to
them
and
that
we
have
this
conversation
back
and
forth
and
say:
what
can
we
do?
What
can
we
do
to
meet?
The
future
needs
to
retain
the
staff
and
teachers.
Thank
you.
Miss.
A
D
So,
on
the
twenty-second
of
September,
our
district,
we
had
a
strategic
planning
retreat
up
at
Skyline
College
and,
after
our
work
of
the
day,
was
done.
The
facilitator
when
we
went
around
and
just
and
she
asked
will
describe
when
one
word.
How
do
you
feel
about
what
happened
today
about
work
working
together
and
our
SBA?
D
Our
teacher
union
rep
president,
said
that
she
finally
felt
heard
and
she
felt
like
she
was
important-
that
she
was
part
of
this
process
and
I
think
that
that's
what
the
teachers
always
wanted
to
be
was
to
be
heard
to
be
supported,
to
be
acknowledged,
to
to
be
valued
and
working
with
our
teachers
union.
That's
going
to
build
trust
and
restore
the
relationship
to
where
it
should
be
between
teachers,
our
superintendent
distress,
district
staff
and
also
amongst
the
board
members
and
the
community.
E
The
as
Jennifer
to
I
think
working
a
cooperative
relationship
with
the
teachers
and
we're
where
they
feel
respected
and
informed
is
critical.
One
of
the
things
I,
don't
think
the
people
recognize
last
year
was
actually
the
extent
of
cuts
that
we
needed
to
make
midway
through
the
year
was
the
extent
of
it
actually
was
a
came
as
a
as
a
surprise
to
us.
You
know,
rightly
or
wrongly,
but
I
think
with
the
effect
of
that
was.
E
Really
kind
of
like
shocked
and
surprised
a
lot
of
people's
part.
You
know
and
I
think
that
that
really
hurt
but
I
think
also,
then,
to
really
say,
increasing
salaries
is
terrific,
but
but
it
also
is
going
to
come
at
costs
that
we
need
to
find.
You
know
we
need
to
make
that
district-wide
priority
to
make
that
happen
and
not
just
leave
it
at
what
people
deserve,
but
what
we
really
are
dedicated
to
provide.
B
Leaving
is
a
choice,
so
choice
unfortunately,
was
forced
upon
them
to
leave
as
I've
talked
to
several
of
them,
they
loved
what
they
did.
They
love
the
community
that
they
were
in,
but
for
themselves
they
got
tired
of
the
same
old,
non,
active
non
budgetary
controls
and
they
decided
enough
is
enough.
We
spent
somewhere
I
think
about
forty
five
hundred
dollars
to
have
this
seminar
up
that
Scotland
college
and
head
of
the
teachers
union
says
I.
Think
I've
been
heard.
They've
been
here
for
five
years
deficit
spending.
What
didn't
anybody
stop
to
ask
them?
I?
B
Don't
think
you
need
to
spend
money
like
that
away
from
what
the
core
issue
is.
I
think
we
need
these
new
teachers,
and
maybe
we
can
lure
some
of
the
old
ones
back,
but
I
think
these
new
teachers
want
to
feel
a
part
of
the
process
and
not
dumped
on.
They
want
to
believe
that
their
voice
can
be
heard,
and
I
pledge
that
I
will
tear
take
in
that
type
of
activity,
because
I
want
to
know
if
common
core
is
working.
A
D
So
in
order
to
do
that,
I
don't
well
I,
think
we're
going
to
close
the
school
and
also
with
all
this
housing
development.
That's
going
on.
We
have
a
potential
housing
development
of
high
school
and
college.
We
also
have
at
the
communal
theater
on
el
camino,
real
this
huge
apartment
complex.
So
where
are
we
going
to
put
our
kids
we're
going
to
need
to
have
space
and
there's
for
me?
I,
don't
believe
that
we're
going
to
be
closing
the
school.
E
Well,
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
pledge
to
do
as
a
school
district
anyway
is
to
provide
that
the
operations
in
terms
of
the
numbers
of
schools
as
efficiently
as
we
can.
We
have
to
there's
you
know
so
and
also
then,
so
I
think
when
I
would
say
maybe
frequently
there
are
a
lot
of
trade-offs
in
this
case.
E
There
is
something
that
can
be
said
that
that
that's,
that
can
be
a
trade-off
in
the
sense
that
what
you
put
into
keeping
a
small
school
going
is
actually
taking
away
from
some
of
your
leverage
or
what
you
can
do.
In
other
circumstances,
the
things
that
you
want
to
provide
so
I
think
looking
at
the
schools,
we
really
should
look
at
the
the
whole
configuration
of
schools
which
grazed
we
need
in
which
neighborhoods,
perhaps
you
know,
ways
to
resent
to
restock
the
schools
or
something
like
that.
B
Closures,
the
big
a
big
white
elephant
in
the
classroom
at
all
times.
How
do
you
address
that?
It's
on
a
cost
analysis
basis,
looking
at
class
size
reduction?
Okay,
if
you
have
2500
kids
in
the
district,
you
need
X
number
teachers,
X
number
of
principles,
X
number
support
staff,
you
close
the
school.
What
do
you
limit?
Eight?
B
Maybe
a
custodian,
maybe
an
office
manager,
maybe
a
principal,
depending
on
how
you
reconfigure
those
classes
to
go
forward
when
you
look
at
the
potential
of
where
the
growth
is
going
to
come,
and
you
say
well,
maybe
we're
going
to
get
more
from
this
area
that
very
it's
been
proven
that
out
of
the
morrow
saw
area,
there's
only
a
than
a
dozen
maybe
13,
kids
that
come
out
of
that
70
homes,
the
Navy
site.
We
hardly
have
any
kids
out
of
that
site.
B
Those
hoes
homes
that
are
being
built
today
aren't
conducive
to
families
with
more
than
one
child.
So
where
we're
at
with
closing
a
school,
it's
really
in
numbers,
but
I
think
if
you're
going
to
close
a
school,
the
people
that
are
going
to
be
closed
need
to
go
to
somewhere.
Better,
not
just
a
trade-off
I
mean
give
them
something
better
to
look
forward
to
to
go
to.
Thank
you.
C
It's
it's
a
sad
day
when
you
have
to
close
a
school,
especially
these
small
neighborhood
schools
in
san
bern.
Sanburne
is
a
beautiful
town.
People
love
their
kids.
They
love
this
as
the
sports
teams.
They
love
the
education.
The
neighborhood
schools
provide
I
would
close
a
school
if
it
came
down
to
the
wire-
and
we
said
cost
analysis,
it
doesn't
make
sense.
The
economies
of
scale
don't
add
up.
C
It's
an
aging
building
in
to
Chuck's
point
offer
the
parents
something
different,
often
offer
them
a
better
school
down
the
road
with
better
programs
and
something
we
can
be
proud
of.
It's
something
we
can
show
that
if
you
close
a
school
you
do
it
fast
in
your
transparent
about
it,
there's
no
slow,
moving
anks
that
builds
in
the
community.
So
thank
you.
A
E
Well,
you
know:
that's,
on
the
one
hand,
that's
a
family
choice.
Yes,
there
is,
it
goes
to
what
they
see
the
values
that
the
schools
hold
for
them.
I.
Think
one
house
element,
though,
that
we
could
do
really
is
to
one
of
the
advantages
we
have
in
san
bruno
is.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
small
schools
that
are
are
really
identified,
one
with
their
neighborhood.
You
know
it's,
and
so
in
that
regard,
I
think
it's
it's
moping
up
the
schools,
making
them
vibrant
to
families
the
whole
time
that
there's
raising
their
young
family.
E
You
know
that
becomes
like
almost
the
social
thing
for
the
neighborhood
is
what
they
do
for
in
schools,
whether
they're
involved
with
you
know,
events,
open
houses,
just
kind
of
you
know
the
fields
all
that
kind
of
stuff
that
makes
the
the
neighborhood
and
the
school
identify
with
themselves.
I
think
for
us,
I
know,
are
tied
together
with
fellow
parents,
Titus
closer
to
san
bruno
than
any
other
thing
and
I.
Think
that's
I.
Think
many
people
have
that
opportunity.
B
I
think
what
parents
under
the
public
education
system,
founded
by
thomas
jefferson,
want
the
ability
to
choose
what's
best
for
their
child
and
when
everything
else
is
out
there
they're
going
to
make
the
choice
they
feel
is
best.
What
we
have
to
do
is
demonstrate
and
show
them
that
this
is
the
place
you
want
to
be,
and
this
is
what
we
can
do
for
your
child
and
you
can't
not
just
talk
you
have
to
demonstrate
and
show
by
the
success.
B
C
C
I
think
that
you
know
San
berta
we're
not
just
competing
with
millbrae
herb
early
you're
competing
with
the
world
when
it
turned
when
it
comes
to
science,
education
and
in
engineering
and
math,
and
all
these
things
that
I
love
to
talk
about
you've
got
to
create
your
programs
to
be
so
robust
and
so
so
beautiful
that
when
people
drive
by
in
a
car
that
say,
I
want
my
kids
to
go
there
to
public
school
saint-bruno.
Thank
you.
Miss.
D
What
I
believe
what
private
schools
offer
students
is,
there's
a
there's:
a
parents
need
to
participate
and
the
programs
are
offered
at
these
private
schools,
I
think,
is
the
draw
for
a
lot
of
our
parents,
but
if
we're
going
to
be
truly
promoting
our
district
marketing,
our
district
I.
Think
for
me,
it's
more
about
programs.
Programs
that
are
going
to
be
offered
currently
I
know
that
December
education
foundation
is
one
of
their
goals.
D
Are,
is
to
provide
music
to
our
fourth
and
fifth
graders
so
that
when
they
come
into
park
site
they
can
take
banned
because
parkside
we
have
an
award-winning
amazing
band.
So
let
their
ready
coming
in
and
I
know
that
the
principal
at
Parkside
is
working
on
bringing
French.
We
already
have
Spanish,
but
he
wants
to
bring
in
French.
So
when
they
go
into
cap,
they
will
be
ready
with
the
first
year
of
french.
So
it's
also
about
electives
at
Parkside
and
another
thing
too.
D
A
B
Oh,
the
PG&E
money:
let's
put
it
that
way:
okay,
I
think.
The
thing
is
that
in
that
whole
settlement
with
the
city,
I
think
in
a
collaborative
way.
You
know
the
school
district
has
a
lot
of
property,
a
lot
of
land
and
the
city
has
a
certain
amount.
So
we
kind
of
have
one
part
of
the
puzzle
and
they
have
one
part
of
the
puzzle
and
I
think
there's
a
way
to
work.
This
out
can
benefit
both
sides.
B
I
know
that
a
year
or
so
ago
there
was
an
agreement
entered
into
with
the
city
and
san
bruno
about
field
usages
and
maintenance
and
those
types
of
things,
but
to
make
a
specific
request.
I
think
that
would
benefit
both
the
city
and
the
school
district
would
be
to
address
issues
of
public
access
to
athletic
fields.
For
kids,
a
lot
of
kids
play
a
lot
of
sports
in
san
bruno
and
some
are
really
good
at
it.
I've
coached
them,
but
they
play
on
terrible
fields
and
I
think
that
that
would
be
I.
B
A
C
Think,
what's
key
is
infrastructure,
I
mean
I,
know
it
attending
some
of
the
community
foundation
meetings.
A
lot
of
it
came
down
to
you
know,
put
a
cover
on
the
pool.
We
need
to
redo
the
library.
I.
Think
a
lot
of
shared
services
and
shared
construction
projects
could
be
really
beautiful.
I
mean
libraries
as
far
as
like
you
know,
there's
the
maker
movement
so
3d
printing
and
show
people
different,
lab
space
and
show
kids.
There's
look,
there's
beautiful
programs
that
we
funded
via
the
foundation.
They
can
benefit
public
school
education
here
in
San
Bruno.
C
D
Attended,
I
believe
I
attended
all
through
the
town
hall
meetings
and
I
believe
is
the
second
one
that
I
actually
participated
in
it.
That
was
at
held
at
bellaire
school,
and
I
actually
was
a
facilitator
that
had
to
go
and
report
on
what
the
group
had
come
up
with.
I
had
mentioned
a
big
lift.
The
big
lift
is
a
program
that
is
through
the
cemetery
board
of
supervisors
and
we
actually
applied
for
the
big
lift
monies,
but
because
our
district,
unfortunately,
we
were
not
able
to
match
a
ten
thousand
dollars.
D
We
were
not
one
of
the
chosen
ones,
but
I
do
know
that
there
currently
is
a
space
for
one
more
school
district,
and
I
believe
that
we
are
the
district
that
is
going
to
get
that
next
lot.
So,
hopefully,
maybe
the
money
we
can
ask
for
the
PG&E
fund,
the
Community
Foundation,
is
perhaps
having
them
help
us
match
the
big
lift
funds.
The
big
leaf
is
a
program
that
is
a
literacy
program
and
or
if
not,
we
can
implement,
maybe
a
program.
E
Yeah
I
would
say
one
of
the
things
I
was
really
impressed
with
the
Community
Foundation
was
that
they're
they're
looking
I
believe
not
just
as
you
know,
dispensing
a
set
amount
of
money,
but
really
they
have
a
lot
of
talent
and
dedication
to
toss
to
to
kind
of
keep
keep
going
as
a
foundation
that
kind
of
identify
with
San
Bruno's
needs
and
meet
them.
You
know
in
in
broader
ways,
perhaps
just
beyond
I'm,
just
strict
endowments
like
that.
The
big
lift
is
actually
is.
E
That's
just
that
in
providing
services
to
make
that
so
and
so
I
think
that
might
be
the
kind
of
function
that
the
foundation
could
do,
but
I
think
it's
really
establishing
a
partnership
with
hopefully
and
I
think
an
ongoing
mission
on
their
part,
and
you
know
looking
that
way
to
than
just
this
one
time.
These.
Thank
you.
A
C
I
talked
earlier
about,
you
know
transport,
so
we
are
spending
a
lot
of
the
money.
If
you
look
at
the
county
numbers,
we
spend
more
on
special
ed
than
than
other
cities
in
the
county
and
I
think
a
lot
of
it
is
transportation,
but
also
like,
if
we're
using
AIDS
and
they
the
AIDS,
have
to
go
from
school
to
school.
C
D
Mr.
Blanco,
so
I
did
mention
special
ed.
Some
years
ago,
our
district,
we
had
a
special
education
study
done
and,
in
speaking
with
our
associate
superintendent
business
services,
that's
something
that
he's
looking
into
revisiting
to
see
what
what
the
suggestions
were,
that
we
previously
did
not
really
dive
into
and
make
those
recommendations
into
our
school
district
I
know
one
of
them
is
was
it
was
a
suggestion
was
to
hire
a
director
of
special
ed
that
has
been
done
a
transportation
again.
D
E
So
I
we
did
touch
on
some
of
the
things
for
special
education
efficiency,
particularly
around
transportation.
I'm,
there's
one
little
bit
of
how
special
education
works,
that
I
guess
in
the
almost
done
acronyms
it
kind
of
rolls
off
your
tongue,
but
when
you
take
it,
take
it
down
a
little
bit.
I
think
the
the
promise
for
students
in
special
education
is
to
provide
them
a
free
and
appropriate
education
in
the
least
restrictive
environment.
So
in
that
sense,
it's
it's
not
that
we
choose
to
have
them
here
or
not.
E
We
owe
it
to
those
students
to
have
them
in
the
least
restrictive
environment
that
works
for
them
and
I.
Think
if
so,
I
think
our
goal
is
to
have
that
provided
within
the
district
within
their
neighborhoods.
If
possible,
we
can't
always
our
schools
are
not
big
enough
to
take
care
of
me
of
all
the
various
needs
of
students
at
each
site,
but
I
think,
as
in
your
as
a
community
embrace
special
education
embrace
the
students
embrace
their
needs
and
provide
it
there.
E
B
B
Problem
special
ad
studies,
a
former
board
member
chris
colleagues
here
in
the
audience
tonight-
he
knows
top
notch
about
this
because
after
he
sold
the
property
for
30
million
dollars,
eventually
it
was
moved
towards
getting
a
special
and
study
done
and
yet,
with
all
the
money
we
had,
nobody
did
anything
after
the
study
was
done.
It
was
kind
of
like.
Why
did
we
spend
the
money
for
a
study
and
you
didn't
implement
anything
special
that
is
derived
from
the
children
of
our
community
who
have
needs
outside
of
the
normal
classroom?
B
That
could
be
something
as
simple
as
my
son
that
needed
a
little
extra
time
and
taking
tests
or
getting
a
spelling
list
of
week
learning
to
kill
dhryn
that
just
cannot
physically
help
themselves
in
wheelchairs
or
ms
or
whatever
their
issues
are
special.
That
is
not
that
simple,
it's
very
complex,
but
we
looked
at
one
point
that
we
had
enough
grounds
to
move
forward
in
litigation
and
we
didn't
have
the
votes
to
do
that
with
the
bottom
line.
B
A
D
Well,
I
well,
I
do
know
that
we
do
have
a
stem
school
that
focuses
on
teaching
the
students
within
the
stem
perspective
and
I
know
that
we
do
have
a
technology
committee
moving
forward.
I
know
that
some
of
our
schools
do
need
an
upgrade
so
that
they
can
keep
up
with
with
our
technology
programs.
I
know
that
at
Parkside
we
from
understand
as
far
as
technology.
D
My
concern
with
technology
is
making
our
students
know
how
to
type
first
in
college,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
students
still
typing
with
the
one
finger
and
my
concern
with
technology
moving
forward
is
making
sure
our
kids
actually
use
the
keyboard
and
also
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
our
students
with
up-to-date
laptops,
Chromebooks
or
whatever
is
that
needs?
So
we
can
move
forward
and
also
make
sure
that
every
class
is
provided
with
the
right
technology.
Thank.
A
B
B
Tell
you
a
real,
quick,
cute
little
story:
the
kid
I
caught
going
into
a
teacher's
program,
because
the
teachers
didn't
understand
it
and
I
said
what
are
you
looking
at,
because
I'm
trying
to
find
more
games
see
he
associated
learning
with
games,
because
that's
what
the
software
was
designed
to
do
now:
jump
power
to
fiber,
optics
laptops
and
everything
else?
What
a
world
has
changed
in
about
22
years.
B
My
point
is:
technology
is
the
delivery
mechanism
that
works
well
with
most
students
today,
my
three-year-old
grandson
goes
how
to
use
a
phone
better
than
I
do
and
an
ipad.
But
that
being
said,
it's
a
way
to
entice
them
to
the
delivery
of
educational
things
and
they
want
to
go
back
for
more
I,
don't
see
too
many
kids
back
in
mind.
They
wanted
to
run
back
for
their
schoolbooks.
Just
the
looks
of
them
up.
So
technology
is
a
mechanism
to
attract
kids
to
stronger
learning.
That's
what
it's
all
about.
Mr.
C
Is
right
in
my
wheelhouse
I
have
16
years
of
I
process
manufacturing
what
what
I
think
is
really
important
to
me?
It's
not
it's
not
so
much
coding
coding
is
very
important,
but
coding
like
for
a
PLC
or
an
automated
system,
and
actually
it
codes
to
do
something
to
manufacture
something.
Manufacturing
is
not
a
dirty
word.
If
it's
done
cleanly
and
efficiently,
you
can
show
kids
how
to
do
anything.
How
did
how
to
do
basic
chemistry,
experiments
and
make
make
processes
and
learn
things
I
think
learning
versus
teaching
is
really
the
key.
C
A
E
E
Parents
are
attached
to
the
schools
based
on
you've,
ready
their
own
student
you're,
that
kind
of
and
I
think
growing
out
from
there
that
attachment
to
the
school
is
really
finding
through
ptas
or
others.
What
are
the?
What
is
it
that
makes
attaches
them
to
the
school
when
they
do
when
they're
attached
to
you
know
this
kind
of
partnership
coming
out
from
the
classroom
to
the
school?
B
As
my
neighbor
up
the
street,
who
has
a
second
grader,
says,
I,
don't
understand
this
common
core
and
he
went
to
the
teacher
and
the
principal
at
the
school
last
year
and
got
some
help
on
it
and
my
daughter
tutored
his
son.
But
the
point
was:
how
do
we
connect
them?
One
I
think
has
been
successful.
That
I've
been
involved
with
in
the
past
is
bringing
in
speakers
that
talk
about
the
three
ways
children
learn.
B
They
learn
auditory
site
and
mechanical
learners
by
writing
and
doing
things
helping
our
parents
be
a
partner
in
the
education
of
their
children,
because
nobody
I
haven't
seen
a
child.
Yet
at
least
my
two
didn't
come
with
instructions
on
how
to
help
them
and
I
didn't
know
a
lot
of
things
and
being
involved.
I
got
to
learn
things,
but
I
think
what
the
outreach
is
is
making
the
parents
feel
a
part
of
the
education
for
their
child.
B
A
lot
of
parents
have
not
exceeded
certain
levels
in
education
for
their
children
and
their
children
do
take
the
lead
in
some
things
in
their
lives,
but
we
have
to
get
them
in
to
say
here.
We
want
you
to
be
an
active
partner,
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
do
it.
There
are
many
people
that
can
come
and
speak
free
of
charge
to
the
communities
to
members
of
the
schools
to
help
them
be
a
partner
with
their
kids
as
education.
Mr.
C
Two
things:
one
definitely
have
to
show
it
end
user
process,
so
it
their
parents
right
they
have.
They
have
a
job,
show
how
education
fits
into
that
job.
I
mentioned
manufacturing
or
earlier.
These
are.
These
are
things
we
to
connect
in
society
as
far
as
like
here's,
your
kids
are
learning
math
it's
for
this
process.
They
can
be
used
for
all
kinds
of
things,
so
showing
a
relatable
skillset
as
far
as
the
career
or
vocation
in
your
life
is
very
important.
Second
thing,
I
think
is
community
outreach.
C
I
think
this
is
no
longer
a
monolingual
culture.
I
speak
Spanish,
bad,
pour
cheese,
a
little
Farsi
and
what
not
I
think
we
need
to
do
community
outreach.
We
should
be
proud
of
that
saying:
hey
world
we're
on
the
board
here
we
care
about
you.
This
is
your
democracy
participate.
We
want
you
here.
Thank
you.
Miss.
A
D
Ok,
control
a
plan.
We
we
actually
have
a
whole
section
on
that
and
we
have
found.
We
have
discussed
and
adopted
in
our
el
cap
to
hire
parent
liaisons
to
have
them
at
every
site
and
eventually
won
at
the
district
office
and
I
believe
that
having
parent
liaisons,
that
each
of
the
sites
will
help
increase
participation
because
they
will
be
the
person
that
will
bridge
that
home
to
school
communication
to
strengthen
their
relationships,
to
make
sure
that
parents
understand
how
important
their
involvement
is.
How
important
it
is
to
attend
school
functions.
D
How
important
it
is
to
attend
parent
teacher
conferences
or
to
come
and
spend
the
day
in
the
class
and
make
sure
that
they're
getting
the
homework
or,
if
they
don't
understand
and
make
sure
that
they
get
the
home
to
help.
If
the
parent
can't,
if
the
parent
doesn't
know
how
to
do
the
homework
for
to
help
their
own
child.
So
to
strengthen
that.
A
Thank
you.
Each
candidate
will
now
have
two
minutes
for
a
closing
statement.
We
will
reverse
the
order
from
that
of
the
opening
statements,
so
we
will
begin
with
mr.
Martinez,
but
as
the
candidates
take
a
couple
of
minutes
to
gather
their
thoughts,
I
would
like
to
mention
the
following.
You
can
find
additional
information
about
the
candidates
on
the
league's,
smart
voter
website,
ww,
smart,
voter
org.
A
All
candidates
have
been
invited
to
enter
their
information
and
to
link
to
their
own
websites.
Remember
to
mail
in
your
ballot.
It's
a
male
and
election
mailing,
your
ballot
on
or
before
november
third,
and
encourage
others
to
vote
as
well.
There
are
other
places
around
the
county
where
you
can
drop
your
your
ballot
off
as
well.
You
don't
have
to
mail
in
and
you
can
drop
it
off.
All
the
information
is
in
your
ballot,
which
I
believe
everybody
should
have
received
by
now,
I
hope.
So,
okay,
we
will
now
begin
with
closing
statements
with
mr.
E
One
thing
I'd
like
to
emphasize
and
thank
you
is
that
we
do
have
strong
schools
and
we
really
are
coming
at
this
from
a
position
of
strength
we
we
have
had.
We've
worked
through.
I
think
so,
really
difficult
news
and
we're
still
working
with
what
struggles
we
do
too
and
competing
needs,
and
we
want
to
just
emphasize
that
that
we're
developing
along
with
the
you
know
it's
really
it's
a
human
Enterprise.
It's
a
gross
kind
of
a
mindset
that
we
have
in
pursuing
where
the
district
is
going.
E
We're
really
looking
to
that
in
developing
goals
with
the
community
to
really
make
our
promise
for
what
we're
to
do
now.
I
guess
one
of
the
things
when
I
episode
two.
Is
that
we're
really
we
are
stronger
together?
You
know
one
of
the
things
in
working
with
children,
I
think
that
realize
and
just
kind
of
stopped.
Our
social
remember
is
that
this
is
really
as
a
joyful
enterprise.
You
know
it's
foundational
in
their
lives
and
when
you
talk
to
children,
you
know
it's
like
their
goals,
really
do
matter
and
they're.
E
E
Making
them
strong
high
school
students
is
the
best
that
I
think
in
elementary
district
can
do,
but
really
in
kind
of
recognizing
that
their
life
dreams
matter
and
our
place
along
the
way
is
to
get
a
really
strong
foundation
socially
and
academically
and
I
believe
the
same
printer
Park,
School
District.
Does
that
you
know
and
I'm
really
proud
of.
What's
done
it's
it's
not
just
the
sum
of
the
sets
of
news.
You
know
it's!
It's
really
wet!
E
A
D
So
this
is
the
part
where
we
say
why
we'd
like
to
get
on
the
board,
whether
we're
incumbents
and
we
want
to
get
reelected
or
where
challengers
trying
to
get
on
the
board.
For
me,
the
why
24
to
ask
for
your
support
in
your
consideration
to
reelect
me
to
this
position
is
now
that
we
have
new
leadership
in
the
district.
We
have
their
ship,
who
is
bringing
about
change,
not
only
I'm
chamber.
D
A
positive
change
and
I
do
feel
that
we
are
on
this
upward
movement
by
working
together,
and
also
we
have
a
superintendent
who
is
willing
to
collaborate
partner,
work
to
restore
the
community's
trust
back
into
the
district
and
for
me,
I
want
to
be
part
of
that
change.
We
have
come
through
all
these
years
of
prior
leadership,
where
we
had
a
lot
of
problems
and
distrust,
and
mistrust
and
communication
has
not
been
to
way.
D
But
one
way
and
I
want
to
be
part
of
the
change
and
I'd
like
to
say
that
our
district
is
risen
from
the
ashes
so
to
speak,
and
that
I
am
very
enthusiastic.
Borrow
new
administration
and
I
like
the
opportunity
to
continue
serving
you.
Our
families
and
our
students
are
children
of
this
district,
Thank
You.
Mr.
C
You
I
like
to
think
in
the
league
of
women
voters
and
my
fellow
san
bruno
residents,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
I'm
one
of
seven
kids.
I
know
how
to
work
in
teams.
I
think
the
ability
to
collaborate
is
by
far
the
most
important
thing,
not
only
at
the
district
level
and
with
our
new
superintendent,
but
also
with
the
city
city
of
San
Bruno,
because
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
shared
services
and
work,
that's
done
by
both
entities
and
how
we
manage
those
relationships
really
can
be
critical,
fiscally
and
just
relationship
wise.
C
One
thing
I
didn't
mention
earlier
is
in
college:
I
was
an
afterschool
tutor
and
I
didn't
do
it
for
the
money
I.
Do
it
I?
Did
it
because
I
believe
in
public
school
education
and
I'm
really
passionate
about
it?
I
think
one
of
the
things
like
I
could
talk
about
manufacturing
and
landscaping
all
day,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
best
thing
you
can
teach
your
kids
is
acceptance
of
diversity
around
you
in
your
society
and
empathy
for
others
and
I.
C
Think,
that's
really
it's
a
beautiful
thing
that
that
public
schools
offers
that
you're
all
in
it
together
and
I
really
believe
that
I
that
I'm
ready
for
this
I'm
ready
for
that.
You
know,
I
have
an
MBA
I've
studied
business,
but
I've
also
done
a
variety
of
jobs
in
society
in
the
bay
area
and
I'm
proudest.
They
have
taken
bits
and
pieces
from
those
and
I've
learned
a
lot
and
I'm
ready
to
do
this
thing.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
your
support.
Mr.
B
You
have
here
tonight,
I
believe
in
is
different
personalities
and
different
perspective.
Different
backgrounds,
I
can
sit
up
here
and
be
a
little
stern
in
my
voice
or
very
strong-willed,
but
I
am
a
person
that
I
believe
can
work
with
people.
Unfortunately,
I
am
one
of
nine,
so
I
got
you
beat
by
a
couple,
but
what
you
did
learn
is-
and
I
was
in
the
middle-
is
you
cooperate?
The
end
result
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
being
successful
as
a
group
and
that's
what
I
believe
I
can
bring
back
to
the
board.
B
You
have
a
contrast
here
of
people
you
have
to
that
have
been
on
the
board
for
eight
nine
years,
I
served
prior
at
six
years,
Andrews
new
and
everybody
has
their
strengths
weaknesses.
I
think
you
have
two
great
us
on
what
we've
done
and
what
we've
proven.
We
can
do
not
that
that
should
be
the
whole
picture,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
say
I
want
to
be
part
of
the
growing
future.
B
Well,
when
you
had
control
of
the
past-
and
you
didn't
make
that
change,
how
do
you
want
to
still
be
part
of
the
growing
future?
Doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me
in
the
end
result
to
it?
Is
this
I'm
asking
for
your
vote
I'm
asking
for
it,
because
I
feel
that
I
can
bring
the
knowledge
that
I
have
on
school
funding,
whether
it
be
special
as
transportation.
B
Construction
I
have
a
background
of
managing
a
lot
of
people,
whether
it
was
new
car
dealerships,
private
industries
million
dollar
industries
working
with
people
to
accomplish
a
goal.
That's
where
we
succeed
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
the
true
goal
here
is
trying
to
retain
the
teachers
that
we
have
now,
because
I
really
believe
the
change
in
the
staffing
did
hurt
the
kids
this
year,
they've
lost
out
for
five
years,
and
now
this
rebuilding
process
they're
going
to
be
short
again.
B
I,
don't
think
it's
fair
to
a
bunch
of
young
impressionable
children
that
they
can't
look
to
the
stars
and
say
I
want
to
be
this,
but
I
can't
because
I
don't
have
the
ability
to
reproduce
pail
whatever.
Let's
give
them
the
opportunity
that
we
all
as
adults,
realize
that
maybe
we
wish
we
had
a
little
more
better
opportunities
in
our
lives
and
let's
give
that
to
our
kids
for
a
better
future.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
