Abstract
I have been a member of the Ventura Community School District Board of Directors since September of 1976, and on the board of Directors of People United for Rural Education (PURE) for the last ten years. Currently, I have daughters in fifth grade, eleventh grade and one who is a sophomore in college. I write this paper as a lay citizen, and a parent who has spent considerable time in educational interests.
