I am proud of our school district. Despite declining funding and staff cuts,
Glendale is recognized statewide as a well-managed district that is increasing
student achievement for all. But we have challenges ahead, and all of us must
work to meet them.
I am proud of the efforts that are bringing teachers and administrators together
to find ways to better prepare our students to succeed in a global economy. As
the mother of a teacher and a former part-time teacher myself, I know how
challenging the job is.
I love collaborating with community partners, parents, and other districts to
increase opportunities for youth. I represent GUSD on the Workforce Investment
Board; Verdugo School-to-Career Coalition; Arts & Culture Commission; two
coalitions of school districts; and LA County School Trustees Association. I
have been active in PTA since 1987.
As parents of two—soon to be three—GUSD graduates, my husband and I are very
thankful for all this district and its teachers have given our children. I want
to ensure that GUSD can provide as much and more in the years to come, so all
our children can succeed.
