Funding

The Orange County Registrar of Voters does not publish and freely disclose school board candidate campaign finance reports that were filed by paper in their office. Ballotpedia staffers directly requested this information, but the municipal office refused those requests to make that information public.

Campaign themes

2014

Mantini highlighted the following issues on her campaign website:

As a mother of two enrolled children in the Huntington Beach Union High School District, I have an understanding of what we currently face today. The high school district is experiencing challenges with updating campus technology, maintaining and enhancing campus safety, engaging students and faculty with the transition to Common Core, and funding financial obligations along with the campus activities across all of the schools. The various constituents, including student, parent, teacher, and administrator, must be supported to foster an environment for success.

I support:

  • Updating campus technology to meet current and future needs
  • Restoring campus officers at each school
  • Maintaining campuses and facilities
  • Meeting the financial obligations of the district while representing the tax payer
  • Enhancing student curriculum and campus experience
  • Strengthening the arts and sports programs in the district[2]
