Three Reasons to Vote for Chris Rich

By Chris Rich

We need leadership at the top that expects kids to achieve the highest level. I also know that as an Emmy-winning sound engineer, we do what works to achieve the end result. That is my educational philosophy. Focus on the end result of having children meet grade level standards using curriculum and methods that work.

Focus tax dollars into the classroom: I want money to go to the classroom not bureaucracy. Teachers shouldn't have to spend money out of their own pocket for necessary classroom supplies. Other local districts are getting grants, which Monrovia is missing out on. I started my career building a business. I understand finance and the bottom line. I will use my experience to get more dollars in the classroom

Our schools will be safe: Parents entrust their children to the school district. Schools need to be safe! I will make sure we work with the Police department to keep gangs and drugs from our kids. Our entire emergency plans need to be evaluated by professionals. And of course no kid should be allowed to leave campus for any reason without parental permission.
