Bakit ka tumatakbo para sa CCSD Trustee? Ano ang iyong pananaw sa tagumpay para sa tungkuling ito? 

We need to do better for our kids, support our teachers and parents to help students at school and home. I’m also running for transparency and accountability, we need to hold the school board, it’s members, the superintendent , superintendent’s staff, school administrators, teachers and parents responsible for allowing our students to fail and drop so low in academia, we need to do better. We need to work with our community business owners to help the schools to help students.

What success looks like, higher test scores, lower dropout rate, safer schools, accessibility for all students to succeed, we also need to put a spotlight on young people’s mental health, parents reengaging in their child’s education.

my goal is to bring Determination, Education and Inspiration to our community.

Paano mo tinukoy ang tagumpay ng mag-aaral? Anong karanasan ang mayroon ka at anong papel ang nais mong gampanan sa pagtataguyod para sa tagumpay ng mag-aaral?

book smarts isn’t the only way to success, we need to also teach our students to be a positive impacted on our community and be a productive member of society.

I plan on being out in the community every chance I get, get schools and small businesses together to help students learn basic life skills and work ethic.

Sa 2022 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), ang mga mag-aaral sa ikaapat na baitang, sa Nevada, ay nakakuha ng 6 na puntos na mas mababa sa matematika at 7 puntos na mas mababa sa pagbabasa kung ihahambing sa 2019. Kung mahalal, paano mo magagamit ang iyong posisyon upang matiyak na titigil ang Nevada sumusunod sa pambansang kalakaran at nagsisimulang manguna sa mga resulta ng mag-aaral?

we need to open the books, get rid of useless spending free up money to pay better teachers and to get parents more involved in their child’s education

Ano, kung mayroon man, ang mga hadlang na kasalukuyang umiiral sa kahusayan sa edukasyon at katarungan para sa bawat mag-aaral? Kung mahalal sa Lupon ng mga Tagapangasiwa, paano ka makakatulong na maalis ang mga hadlang na ito?

I feel majority of the board of trustees do not have the students best interest at heart, the way they’ve voted has only hurt the education system and has lowered the standards and crippled the education system. We need to raise the standards again and give our educators and parents every tool we can to get our students up to par and help them excel in the future.

Ano sa palagay mo ang nangungunang tatlong pinaka-paulit-ulit na hamon na kinakaharap ng CCSD Board of Trustees? Ano ang isang halimbawa ng isang matapang na diskarte na imumungkahi mong tugunan ang isa sa mga hamong iyon?

Lack of accountability- I will vote to hold myself and my fellow board members accountable for our actions.

Parent involvement- get out talk to parents and see how we can get them to be more involved in their child’s education

Lack of qualified teachers- Open the books, work with state legislators to cut unnecessary expenses from the budget and pay qualified teachers more money to come to CCSD.

Noong Enero apat na hinirang na miyembro ang idinagdag sa Board of Trustees. Paano mo magagamit ang kadalubhasaan ng mga hinirang na miyembrong ito upang pinakamahusay na makapaglingkod sa mga mag-aaral? Sa palagay mo ba ang mga hinirang na miyembro ay dapat na bumoto ng mga miyembro? 

I think those member can have a voice, but since this is a new program they shouldn’t have a vote just yet.

Iminumungkahi ng pananaliksik na higit sa 50% ng isang pulong ng lupon ay dapat nakatuon sa mga resulta ng mag-aaral. Paano mo matitiyak na ilalaan ng lupon ang ganitong dami ng oras sa mga resulta ng mag-aaral?

I feel every meeting should allow time to discuss student outcomes and whats best for the students, as a board member I will voice that to the other members and the community.

Kung mahalal sa Lupon, paano mo haharapin ang mga mapaghamong pag-uusap at/o mga kritisismo na maaaring lumabas mula sa mga kapwa miyembro ng Lupon, stakeholder, at sa mas malawak na komunidad?

I will listen to them and if they make a good case and there are things I need to change to better myself and the board to put education first, then I will work on those.

Anong mga pangunahing tagapagpahiwatig ang iyong gagamitin upang masuri ang pagganap ng Superintendente ng CCSD? Paano mo papanagutin ang Superintendente?

School Curriculums

Teachers reaction to his/her decisions

Pakikipag-ugnayan ng mag-aaral

Parent participation

budget allocations

Student success

If they didn’t meet standards they would be removed, we also need to do better on the contracts we give the superintendent, they shouldn’t get paid for failure.

Sa isang kamakailang survey, 77% ng mga residente ng Nevada ay sumang-ayon na ang mga magulang ay dapat na maipadala ang kanilang mga anak sa pampublikong paaralan na sa tingin nila ay pinakamahusay para sa kanilang anak, kahit na ito ay nasa labas ng kanilang kapitbahayan. Sumasang-ayon ka ba? Pakipaliwanag ang iyong pangangatwiran.

Yes, school choice is very important, also that means we need to look at the lower performing schools and put better time and resources into those schools.

Ang sumusunod na tanong ay isinumite ng kasalukuyang pampublikong mag-aaral sa mataas na paaralan: Paano mo matitiyak na ang mga mag-aaral ay mauuna sa proseso ng paggawa ng desisyon bilang miyembro ng Lupon ng mga Tagapangasiwa, at anong mga hakbang sa pananagutan ang iyong ilalagay upang matiyak na ito nangyayari? 

This is a great question, first thing that needs to happen, students need to be more involved and show up to school board meetings, also is the board isn’t putting students at the forefront of their decisions then they aren’t doing their jobs, as a school board trustee I will always make sure the students voices are heard and their best interests are put first.
