Michele Shelley Dally for Vacaville School Board

For those who wonder who to vote for in the school board race, I can honestly say the incumbents work incredibly well together. It is a balanced board- Chris Flask is amazing- he can take a discussion and boil it down too the salient points. He brings knowledge of the local biotech industry. Dave McCallum really cares about about staff and students, visiting campuses regularly to stay in touch. Whit asks those picky little questions that really are important- they get folks t...o publicly clarify details and dig deep- he holds folks accountable and is very fiscally prudent and he does this with students in mind. I bring knowledge of curriculum and instruction, a desire for us to move away from the rigid ways of program improvement to providing a rich education once more as well as heal some very long time wounds in the district caused by poor communication and decisions made far from the classroom.i bring historical knowledge of the last 37 years of VUSD. We differ among ourselves in philosophy which is healthy for a board- because we respect each other. No one grandstands. All want to hold admin accountable but do so in a collaborative way that has us all moving in a healthy direction to ensure we move, as superintendent Jacopetti says, " from good to great". Please vote the incumbents - we have a lot left to do! See more
