Dear friends and neighbors:
My name is Miguel Garza and I am running for Novato school board. I am married and have 3 children with my lovely wife. Our children’s ages are 5, 10 and 13. My family and I have lived in Novato for the last 10 years. During the last 10 years I have worked serving families & Individuals in need of MediCal, CalFresh(Food Stamps) and Cal Works for the County of Marin. As any parent who has children in Novato Public schools I want the best for my 3 children. I want them to receive a quality education by having the best teachers, the best facilities, a well-rounded curriculum, the most recent technology, and a safe school. I know this is possible with active parent involvement. During the last six years I have been participating actively at my children's school. I have served as ELAC president, PTA Vice President, the chair of multiple committees, a Watch Dog Dad and currently serve as an advisor to the PTA Board. I have also had the honor of receiving the Honorary Service Award from Hamilton School on 2 separate occasions. I now seek to serve as an NUSD Board Trustee in order to ensure that not only my children, but all children enrolled in our schools have the best education. * Make certain we continue to hire and retain the best teachers, provide them with the right tools to be successful and maintain manageable class sizes. * Work to close the achievement gap and verify that all students continue to excel while receiving a quality education. * Maintain a fiscally solvent budget. * Support programs and policies that help all students and staff feel safe and respected in the school environment. * Work collaboratively with other Trustees, the superintendent and staff to ensure that we are meeting all federal and state mandates. These are some of my priorities for which I seek to serve on the Novato School Board. I now ask for your vote and your support. Please consider forwarding this email to friends and neighbors. Talk to other parents about my candidacy. Think about hosting a meet and greet or a fundraiser at your home. Please stay tuned for future events and like my Facebook page at the following email: [email protected] I ask not only for your vote and your support but also for your active participation so we may guarantee a quality education for all children. Thank you Miguel Garza |
