Campaign themes
2014
Dally published her platform on her campaign website:
| “ | TOP PRIORITIES
Using my skills as an innovator, problem solver and life-long educator, my top priorities are as follows: 1. Keep focus on continuously improving the educational experience for all students in the Vacaville Unified School District. 2. Oversee the new district plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP) to ensure student achievement is being addressed. This is a "living" document and must be implemented, evaluated and updated with input from those it most closely affects. 3. Ensure there is support for teachers as they implement Common Core Standards and that systems already in place are used to support all learners (especially struggling ones) during this transition. 4. Ensure that district funds are being used to support students and teachers. 5. Work for equity at school sites by supporting a local school bond and, if it is approved, making sure the promised projects are implemented in a fair and timely manner. 6. Maintain transparency and open dialogue with district administrators, teachers and community members.[7] |
