Campaign themes

2014

Foulkrod highlighted the following issues on her campaign website:

“
  • SUPERIOR TEACHERS and PARENTS - Retain the wonderful teaching staff that has been delivering the awesome results which is the reason why so many people with children want to be in the PUSD. The reputation PUSD has nationwide and locally is because of the teachers and very involved parents with their dedication to the students/children and quality of education/volunteerism they provide. Absolutely the best in the State of California!
  • ACCOUNTABILITY - The elected board should be very open to the public input and take responsibility for their actions. They need to own the outcome of their decisions. This mindset will allow the board to think about all the facets, including education of students, fiscal responsibility and community. The board should own the process and decisions they make for issues and daily running the school district management.
  • TRANSPARENCY - Everything should be open and transparent to the public, unfortunately the public feels betrayed with the Capital Appreciation Bond (CAB) or better known as the Billion $Dollar Bond. This lack of transparency led to our own San Diego County Treasurer Dan McAllister help pass legislation to prohibit school districts in the state to use this kind of financial instrument to fund bonds in the future. This is a motivation for most homeowners who have raised children in the district to question the current board members, those who have supported the CAB by either voting for it or publicly supporting it, to call out the faults.
  • QUALITY DECISIONS - As Common Core Standards are being adopted, it is the board's job to get into the details, including curriculum and determine what are the most effective teaching materials as well as methods that will ensure the quality education that will prepare the children for success in the future including the Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) programs that will benefit the children. There are so many great opportunities for our children's futures, they all need to be prepared for the global career market.[9]
