Public dollars should reach students, classrooms, and the supports that matter most.

Strong schools require responsible, student-centered budgeting. Every dollar should:
- Improve student outcomes
- Support educators and staff
- Maintain safe, secure campuses
- Expand opportunity for every student
‍
That starts with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), the roadmap for how state funding is spent.

I am committed to building Fullerton's LCAP with real input from all our families, including multilingual families, and to tracking whether it is actually working for students.

I will work to maximize state funding and grant opportunities so Fullerton schools are not leaving resources on the table that could go directly to our students.
‍
That same transparency applies to Measure N bond funds. Fullerton families and taxpayers deserve to know every bond dollar is used effectively for school facilities, safety upgrades, modernization, and improvements that directly benefit students.

As current Trustee, I bring real experience overseeing major budgets across education, nonprofit, public, and private-sector settings. I know how to ask the hard questions and make sure every dollar, state, grant, or bond is aligned with what all Fullerton students and families need.
