Campaign themes
2015
Jory issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | My purpose for running is to help the all the students and faculty of MPUSD. I believe our school district has an education system that promotes a one-size-fits-all solution for our children. The fact of the matter is were not all ready nor want a university education, in fact most of our graduates do not attend a university after high school. With that being true, we need to INCREASE CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, IMPROVE TEACHER RETENTION, and REDUCE THE DISTRICT DEFICIT.
I'm not running against my opponent, I'm running for our community.[9] |
