Candidate Statement for John M. Gray

By John M. Gray

Lincoln Unified School Board General Election November 2, 2004

My ongoing leadership brought data driven accountability to the school sites and the district as a whole. As a result, principals now report to the Board each year on the progress of our schools and goals for the future. Student behavior continues to improve while we demand greater consistency of discipline throughout the district.

I am continually energized by my interactions with parents, students and staff throughout the district. Making the school board more accessible to the community is my ongoing commitment. I have encouraged greater parent and community participation through my involvement and support of many school and community programs.

Always striving for improvement, I have completed CSBA's Masters in Governance course. The National School Board Association recognized me with its Distinguished Service Award and I was recently invited to make a presentation on Professional Governance Standards at Oxford, England.

Continue the progress, maintain our excellence. Vote for quality education, accountability and ethical leadership.

Remember, it's about our kids.

Please reelect John M. Gray.
