In response to a survey published by La Prensa San Diego, Arancibia answered several questions outlining his campaign themes and vision.
| “ | What do you believe is the number one issue with the district? I would argue that the number one issue that the district faces is establishing a vision that the public can trust. For many years, the community of parents and teachers has been excluded from any type of dialogue on transparency, budgets and vision for the district. Thus, there has been a general leadership void. There has been no real discussion of educational issues or priorities, instead, it has been a consistent attempt to spin discussion while back room deals were made. In order to gain the trust of the district, we must establish a vision that will lead our district into the future. This vision must have participation of all parties to gain the trust of our community. What qualities are will you looking for in hiring a superintendent? I am looking for a new vision for the district. I hope to find a leader in the region that understands the strengths and challenges of our district. I would hope that this individual would have an understanding of our student population while also working towards improving student achievement. This leader must also be willing to work with all stakeholders. These include parents, teachers and community members. Further, this ethical leader must work hard to be transparent with the community so as to gain the support and respect of all constituents. Board accountability has been lacking, how will you hold the board accountable? All board members must refrain from taking any and all gifts. They must never vote on issues where there are conflicts of interests. Board members must always work in the interests of students in the district. What do you believe is your role in interacting with teachers? Teachers are the interface of the district with the community. They are the difference makers in our children’s lives. We should work with them to better our district. This means that we should offer them a chance to help us plot out the vision of the district. What are your financial priorities? My financial priorities are to make the district economically sustainable for the future. In order to do this, we must have an audit to assure the long-term sustainability of the district, but also to be transparent to the community moving forward. We must also work to minimize the costs of the district while at the same time working to assure that we can recruit and maintain our teachers.[4] |
