I want to let you know that I am voting for Paul Strange for Mt. Diablo School Board on November 7, 2006.  Paul was unanimously appointed to the Mt. Diablo School Board in March 2006.  He has dedicated hundreds of hours of his time to the School District and I know he will continue to do so.

He is a parent of two elementary students attending Mt. Diablo schools.  He has worked hard to improve our schools so our children can get the quality education they deserve..

Paul will work hard to:

Attract and retain the best and brightest teachers for our students.

Allocate resources to close the achievement gap.

Ensure that whether a student wants to go to college or not, Mt. Diablo provides them with the skills necessary to reach their goals (vocational, academic, special education, college prep, AP, gifted).

Guarantee safe facilities with first class resources.

Encourage community partnerships and private sector involvement.

Identify opportunities for students to succeed and be committed to their schools through additional electives, sports, and extra curricular activities.

Thank you and please join me in voting for Paul Strange for Mt. Diablo School Board on November 7, 2006!
