Image Not Available for As President of the School Board there are many responsibilities. Almost every issue has to be jaw-boned to death so all sides can state their views. One of the biggest problems is it takes 66 2/3 percent of the ballot to pass a school bond. The public has been taxed the the Federal and State Government and won't stand for another local tax...even for education. Our greatest asset is our youth, they must get a basic education. Our problem is there are two kinds of people, those who are interested in education and those who aren't. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California
