I agree with most of your choices. I disagree about the TUSD School Board in that I will add Kristel Foster to my ballot. She is an educator, dedicated to the students, has lots of impressive endorsements, including the Teacher's Association. Has she made some missteps, maybe, but this is her first political run and she is learning the ropes. She is a strong supporter of Mexican-American studies and has been from the beginning of the struggle the last couple of years. But make no mistake, she understands that she needs to represent all students in the TUSD system and will be fiscally responsible. Please go to her website and read about her qualifications and positions. Kristel Foster has no ulterior motive in running, just a love of education and students!
