Campaign themes

2014

Gleason published the following candidate statement on her campaign website:

I will encourage transparency among the board, the district and the public. I will reignite the collaboration between the elementary schools, high schools and college districts. I guarantee my decisions will be fiscally conservative, responsible, and student focused.

I believe our students need consistency in their education. Our districts must better work together to ensure that our students have uninterrupted learning, the highest level of quality instruction available to them and access to technology which prepares them for the 21st century workplace. This requires the high school district to collaborate with the elementary and college districts to provide our students with consistent, competitive and challenging instruction. We must promote qualified teachers that engage students in their education and success.
I am an active participant in our community and serve on three other prestigious boards: Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, Crittenton Children and Family Services and Young Women's Christian Society. I have the community involvement, child advocacy, work and life experience needed to succeed in this position. I come fully prepared to make difficult decisions in the best interest of our students and I am committed to my fundamental belief of providing a solid educational experience to them.
I would be honored to receive your vote and support. Please contact me if you have any questions.[7]
