Occupation: Agricultural Pest Control Adviser/Parent Age: 48

Education and Qualifications: My qualifications for office are: Resident of the Pajaro Valley area working in the local agricultural industry for the past 24 years. My daughter graduated from Aptos High School and is attending the University of California. My son is currently a sophomore at Aptos High.

Through personal experience it is apparent students could have a greater opportunity for success if we review the existing main curriculum components. The interactive math program must prove its value in comparison to other math instruction methods. Has the whole language system of reading instruction proven to be a viable replacement for phonics? Has the bilingual education program benefited the targeted students and justified its expense? Does the current school year calendar with the four-week winter break impede the learning process for students and create a burden for working parents?

District parents deserve the opportunity for review and to present suggestions. I would serve as a conduit for parental ideas to the management of the school district.
