As a teacher for twenty-one years in San Jose and school board member
for the last three and half years, I am committed to helping
students, parents, school staff, community partners and other
stakeholders meet the challenges of the next generation.
I will work with teachers and parents to create schools
where healthy, well-fed kids can safely learn, where drugs and violence
will not be tolerated, where effective alternatives are offered to our
children, and where teachers are supported in doing what they do best
-- teach!
We must continue building on the basics of reading, math and science to
empower our
students to be problem solvers and collaborative,
competitive workers. We need to emphasize critical thinking skills and
instruction that promotes hands-on experiences with the everyday world.
We need to support students who choose college and those who choose
technical/vocational paths. Working together as board, staff,
parents and students, we must plan, build and adequately fund creative
new schools; we must stabilize district funding. Who knows better than
parents what their
kids need? Who knows better than teachers, on the front line every day
with students, what those students need to meet their parents' goals,
hopes and expectations? Working together, we will provide the best
possible education.
I want to hear from you about what you think the Franklin-McKinley
School District needs. You may contact me by e-mail at jglindner@yahoo.com, by
phone at (408) 314-2300.
