Candidate Statement by Nancy Matarrita

NOW is the time for NEW VISION on the Pomona School Board

Vote for Nancy Matarrita because

... your children deserve a person of integrity who believes in their value and potential and who will keep their best interests in focus

... like you, I live, work, shop, play, worship, serve and learn right here in Pomona

... our new superintendent and management will need visionary leadership, not business as usual

... you and I want the best facilities and motivational enrichment programs for all our pupils

... teachers and parents expect leaders that respect and listen to them like I will

... I understand technology, Spanish, teaching methods, finance, policy-making, good parenting, administration, and children

... focus on the students- not the numbers, economization is a time for innovation and creativity not for fear and surrender

... safety is of the utmost importance on and off campus, and responses to violence need to be re-evaluated and rehearsed at all levels school-wide. Directly after school and after incidents in particular need more attention. Let's use technology to our advantage to combat crime and violence at school.

... parents want information and guidance from our schools and they deserve accountability of the school board and superintendent. Power to the parents - you know your own kids best.

... fresh ideas and new leadership are needed to revitalize and re-energize the board on a regular basis.

...as a mother, I understand your concerns for your children
