"A big thank you to all those that attended our Gold River meet and greet on Sunday evening featuring Lance Christensen, candidate for the San Juan Unified School Board at the Roger's Residence. Parents, grandparents, educators, community leaders and concerned citizens all stopped by to meet Lance Christensen and discuss his race and positions on the San Juan Unified School District.
"Lance discussed the size and scope of the district, performance standards and the fiscal condition of the schools in light of both the precarious state budget situation and the failure of so many financial institutions nationwide. With a district that covers so much of the county and enrolls around 46,000 students, there are many issues that need his scrupulous attention. It is imperative that citizens of the district demand accountability for not only student performance, but also for school performance. Concerned administrators, teachers and parents need to communicate the best methods of improving test scores so the district can avoid any impending sanctions by the state due to its status on the "Program Improvement" list currently released by the California Department of Education. We must also find a way to reduce the number of dropouts we have so that so we won't continue to have 1 in 4 students leave without a diploma. We need to and productive future in our community.
"With the help of district voters, Lance is confident that he brings the right kind of leadership to unite parents, teachers and administrators so they can make sure that our children’s education comes first. With his attention to detail, concern for his children and your vote, San Juan Unified can return to its status as a preeminent district in the state as it was for so many years."
