Campaign themes

2014

Bueno highlighted the following issues on his campaign website:

“ My priorities and goals include:

Establish and Enhance External Partnerships for the Purpose of Improving STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), the Arts & Athletics

  • STEM - We are extremely fortunate to be the home to not one, but two renowned National laboratories. As a major technology hub in California, we need to leverage our position in order to gain maximum advantage for our students.
  • The Arts - We are the home to a premiere facility in the Bankhead Theatre, as well as many vineyard-hosted venues. Further exploration of these relationships may provide advanced opportunities to our students pursuing interest in music and art.
  • Athletics - As the largest City in the Livermore Valley, and member of the premiere East Bay Athletic League, we are in a position to attain statewide and National recognition for our student-athletes. A comprehensive, coordinated plan should be developed for student-athletes with potential at the next level.

Modernization of our Facilities

  • My recent visits to several school sites during the Measure G initiative provided me the opportunity to see just how lacking many of our schools are relative to:
  1. Technology
  2. Energy Conservation
  3. Work Stations, Square Footage and General Appearance

Seek Additional Funding for Targeted Objectives

  • Safety, Facilities, Curriculum - I plan to actively pursue external sources for the purpose of augmenting existing funds. Through partnerships and grants, I believe there is the opportunity to improve upon currently underserved needs.

Actively Support Existing Successful Programs

  • The LVJUSD is the second largest employer in our City, with some 12500 students and a $100,000,000 budget. As such, I do not proclaim to currently be an expert on all programs related to the District. However, I pledge to study the issues and actively support all programs that have proven successful, while constantly seeking improvement. [2]
