The O.C. Register has published their voter guide, online, at this link.
One of the candidates for the Santa Ana Unified School District, Jeffrey K. Morris, did not bother to give his answers to the O.C. Register.
I did, as did John Palacio and Audrey Yamagata-Noji. Click here to access all of our entries.
As far as I can tell, neither Palacio nor Yamagata-Noji have campaign websites. Click here to visit my campaign website.
Interestingly, my name appears first on the ballot, with Palacio listed right below me. Yamagata-Noji is listed third and Morris is last (see the graphic below).
I posted this on another blog and thought it would go good here too ….. cook
Pedroza has kids in the system and lives in the district.
As an outsider he may be able to bring change to the trustee position. Those elected officials that are to keep tabs on the district management.
The two incumbents have a history of letting district management run wilding on spending with no regards to controlling costs or the quality of the education product produced.
The Santa Ana school district is a “Success in Failure“. As the district continues to fail in teaching the children, the state keeps giving them bonus dollars that then go and enrich the salaries and perks of the management and teaching staff.
Mr. Pedroza, as an elected hammer, as a big 5 pound sledge hammer. May be able to strike a blow against the status quo, and break up the ruling click that has controlled the SAUSD for more than a decade.
Or, Art could take the money and roll over with the rest of them, and we would be no worst off than we are today.
Since there are 2 spots with 4 candidates. There is a choice.
A choice of the incumbents for a continuation of “Success in Failure” or
The challengers, “Religious Faith” with a “Sledge Hammer” for change.
cook,
Thanks for the kind words! Rest assured, if I win it is going to be hammer-time! If ever there was a year to displace the incumbents, this is it…
What’s going on with that school construction on 1st Street? That steel has been sitting like that for a couple months.
Tony,
Good question. Must be the last of the bond money. They hired some six figure construction manager from CAPO and the first thing he did was renovate the District’s headquarters!
