Mary's School Involvement

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
~ Albert Einstein


Mary knows what is going on in our
School District:

Save Our Schools (SOS) -
As Co-Chair, I raise local funds for our schools and work with District Administration to determine the best programs for funding.

Ventura Education Partnership/GrantSmart -
As a Board member, I am learning about the needs of our VUSD teachers and staff through the reading and administering of classroom grants.

Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) -
6 year member; meeting with the Superintendent and school site representatives to discuss issues facing the district, teachers and our children.

IPM Committee -
As a voting member, I meet regularly and work closely with VUSD Maintenance and Operations, Child Nutrition Services and Risk Management to implement the IPM policy.

Nutrition and Physical Fitness Task Force - As a Member, I work with parents, VUSD health services, and child nutrition departments to draft policies to create healthier schools.

Arts Advocacy Collaborative -
As a Member, I help to determine the needs of each school site and work to get the Arts back into our classrooms.

 

I have also been involved at individual school sites through my participation as a classroom volunteer, Project Self-Esteem teacher, active PTO and PTA member, and School Site Council Representative.

“I have had the pleasure of serving on the Ventura Education Partnership with Mary and have been amazed at her energy, focus and commitment to making education better for children. We need her on the school board.”
