Support from my colleagues on the Board of Education

The campaign is moving forward. I am pleased to announce that I have received the support of all my colleagues on the Board. This is important to me because it demonstrates my ability to work as a Team member.

Serving on the Board of Education for the Gilroy Unified School District has been a rewarding experience because of the progress we have made working together. Our success is due to the commitment that each one of us brings to achieving academic excellence for all students. Our success can be seen in the following accomplishments:

• Gilroy High School honored as a California Distinguished School.
• Eliot School earned the highest academic gain of any school in Santa Clara County in 2007-2008.
• The opening of Christopher High School -- a new comprehensive school this Fall.
  

In addition, the Team also includes Dr. Deborah Flores, Superintendent of GUSD, the District Office staff (certificated as well as classified), the site administrators, all of the classified employees who work behind the scenes but are so important to our daily lives, and most importantly our Teachers. Thus, I would say OUR TEAM is GUSD as a whole. Our success is a shared success.

There are many challenges we will face in the coming year. In particular, the challenges all school districts in California face in light of the current economic crisis. But I do believe our Team will work diligently to continue to pursue academic excellence. .

For this reason it gives me great pleasure to know I have my colleagues' support in my endeavor to become the next Assemblymember to represent the 28th Assembly District. My approach to governance really is about finding solutions to everyday challenges, something I've brought to my everyday work on behalf of students in our community.

Sincerely,
Francisco
