Enid Stagg, Teacher, Yerba Buena Elementary School
LVUSD has a long tradition of providing a high quality education to our children, and draws much of its strength from the community. Our greatest challenge is maintaining academic excellence during this time of budget cuts. The School Board must be visionary and innovative to protect programs that are vital to the success of our students. We must stay focused on giving our students the best possible education. My district-wide experience makes me well qualified to prioritize effectively.
