Position Statement

By Sheldon Arnold Zaslansky

I have been privileged to sit on the board of the New Designs Charter School, a school that does not have nearly the financial resources as the schools in our community. Yet by spending funds wisely, they have con- sistently surpassed the goals set by the State and by the parents who have enrolled their children.

It is my position that public schools in California no longer graduate well-rounded students. That is why I feel exposure to the arts, music and physical education should be a crucial component of the education provided the Manhattan Beach Students.

Technology is rapidly evolving. It is essential that the school system keep up with the changing demands of industry. Seeking partnership with private industry would assist the schools in meeting these demands.

All five of my children have gone to public schools. The education they received was the foundation of their later successes in college and careers. My six year old is attending Pacific Elementary. Helping provide a first class education for her and all of the students of the district is the primary reason I am running for the school board.
