Occupation: College Instructor Age: 55

Education and Qualifications: As trustee for the past four years, I have encouraged the district to develop a strategic plan that will establish clear accountability for everyone. Thanks to the participation of parents, teachers, students, administrators, and board, part of that plan has now been developed. However, a crucial piece remains to be done-the action plans that will make it possible for the district to have specific standards of accountability in all areas, and the means to measure progress. If elected, I will continue to be a strong proponent of planning that includes all stakeholders, results in excellence in education for all students, and of a process that is open and continually inclusive.

My credentials include: B. A. and M.A. In Hispanic Literature; married, homeowner, and parent of two students in the district; 31 years as an educator and volunteer board member for many nonprofit organizations, including president of the Santa Cruz City Schools Board of Education and past president of the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County.

Education and Qualifications: Democrat Senator Robert Byrd said educators are creating ..."nitwits." There is a deliberate dumbing down of America's children. School administration policies are now directed by the United Nations through UNESCO and the National Education Association.

There purpose is to destroy American sovereignty and make America a cog in a "New World Order" for the multinational; I.E., Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, and Trilateral Commission. See: freeworldalliance.com

They are discreetly preventing our children from becoming individuals who can think for themselves, to feel guilty for being an American, to be "interdependent" (group think) and not even know they have unalienable rights.

Other countries study math, science and solid academics; our children are brainwashed about homosexuality, UN Agenda 21 environmentalism and multiculturalism.

Federal Judge Harmon ruled "parents give up their rights when they drop children off at public school." John Dewey accused "Children who think for themselves spoil the collective (socialist) society."

Schools should be shaped by parents not UN multinationals.
