After much thoughtful consideration, I have decided that I will run for election as a member of the School Board in the San Mateo-Foster City School District! Yes, as an elected public official!
My campaign will be based on my dedication to the SMFC School District over the last 4 years – and even as far back as 19 years ago when I was a substitute teacher in the district before accepting my first elementary teaching position in the South San Francisco Unified School District! My primary goals are increased communication with the community, logical safety measures to protect our students and teachers/staff, well considered decisions about managing enrollment growth, and the provision of adequate support at all levels for the transition and implementation of the new Common Core Standards.
Having majored in Elementary Education and Psychology and having taught from 1994-1998, being an active volunteer in the SMFC School District since 2009 and an active community volunteer in many organizations, as well as being a successful professional, I feel that I will bring a unique and unparalleled perspective to discussion of the many important issues currently on the slate for consideration and decision in the next few years by the SMFC School Board.
I am excited for this new and important endeavor, and I hope that my clients as well as my friends and colleagues will support me in it – even if they do not vote in San Mateo or Foster City!
If you would like to help me toward my goal of being elected on November 5, 2013, please contact me! This is going to be a busy 7 months!!
All my best,
Chelsea
