School Board Endorsements
Susan Lovenburg
By now, most are familiar with my background and experience. If not, please visit my website at www.SusanLovenburg.org. In addition to descriptions of both, you will find my written replies to the many questions posed at forums, and letters from others written in support of my candidacy.
Our District is facing major challenges in the immediate future. The budget is not in balance, with ongoing income not sufficient to cover ongoing expenses. This, combined with the decline in enrollment we’re experiencing, will necessitate budget cuts in the coming months. Negotiations with the Davis Teachers’ Association are ongoing.
Into this mix, we must factor closing Valley Oak as a K-6 campus, with the subsequent relocation of GATE classes and redrawing of District boundaries that requires, as well as consideration of the petition for a Valley Oak Charter School. All this, as we welcome a new Superintendent.
It is imperative that new Board members get up to speed quickly. As a fully engaged parent volunteer with ten years of service in Davis schools, I have the relevant experience. As a candidate, I have increased my knowledge through dialogue with administrators, teachers, classified staff, students, parents, and community leaders. I have considered how we meet the challenges ahead together.
I have a vision for this District that includes sound financial management and student-centered decision making. I have demonstrated my willingness to devote the time and focus it takes to do this job well.
I offer these qualities in service to the community.
Bob Schelen
I bring to the School Board the following:
- Budget Experience for tough times
- A pro-active K-12 mental health program.
- Closing the Ethnic Achievement Gap
I have hands-on budget experience at City, County and State levels, including education budgets for the State of California. We face daunting financial times, that’s why I’d like to see the district use zero-based budgeting (yearly justification for programs).
There is state funding for a pro-active K-12 mental health program that has mental health oversight, while keeping local control. The program should reach students at all levels including over-achievers, at risk individuals, special education students, and kids who are caught in the middle. If kids have less stress in school, they stay in school, learn more, and can get better jobs.
I’d like to see Davis take a national lead in reducing the Ethnic Achievement Gap. Overall, Asian and Caucasian students grade-out better than African-American and Latino students. We should bring the success of our GATE and Spanish Immersion programs to our “forgotten students.” We need to immediately implement the Achievement Gap Task Force Recommendations. We need to hire more diverse faculty and staff, and give parity to Career Technical Education.
In that light, I fully and enthusiastically support the Valley Oak Charter.
Regarding Planned Parenthood’s questionnaire – voters have a right to know where I stand on issues.
- Protecting rights starts at the school board.
- Age –Appropriate comprehensive sex education works.
I hope I’ve earned your vote.
Joe Spector
Of the many forums that I have spoken at during the last few months, the Diversity Forum stands out in my mind. I say this, because I spent more time thinking about the forum afterwards, than before. The forum really pressed us to think about what we, as a city and school district, stand for. I left, reflecting on how far we are from giving all students access to education and opportunity.
I support the expansion of magnet schools, k-12, with emphasis on career/technology. This would give access to ALL students. I recommend a plan of intensive language development instruction, mentoring, and expanded summer school, to help address the achievement gap.
I’ve worked in education for over 25 years.I’ve advocated for students and teachers throughout that time, as a teacher and special education/school psychologist. In this campaign, I’ve pressed to bring ideas about students and teachers into the public forums. I’ve achieved moderate success on this count (but, take a look at the frequency of the words “students” and “teachers” in the the forums and other public discussions….)
Which, brings me to the issue of the Valley Oak Charter. I have expressed support for the Charter, from the start. As the process has evolved, it has grown from quiet discussions among a small group of teachers and parents, to the biggest campaign issue. Having spoken to dozens of folks about this, I have come to believe that the Valley Oak Charter represents what we stand for in Davis, and who we will stand up for.
My thanks to the Vanguard, to the Valley Oak teachers, parents, and students, and to other Valley Oak Charter supporters, who have guided us on this path…………Joe Spector
Richard Harris
With many tough decisions ahead, the Davis School Board needs proven leadership. I’ll bring a parent’s perspective and 30 years of government experience to the challenge. I’d appreciate your vote.
I’m a parent representative on the School Site Council at Pioneer Elementary where our two children attend fifth grade. I’ve written a column for the Davis Enterprise the past two years, speaking my mind about community issues but taking the time to listen too.
We need a school board that’s fiscally responsible and a school district that’s managed professionally. I’ll make those my priorities because I want every child to have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Through sound fiscal management, innovation and community partnerships we can achieve great things for our children and our schools.
I’ve also proposed a Green Schools Initiative to save energy, save money and show leadership on climate change. I support Measure Q to fund vital education programs and Measure P to preserve library services.
I’m proud to be endorsed by hundreds of Davis parents, many local leaders and top state educators, Delaine Eastin and Jack O’Connell, the former and present State Superintendents of Public Instruction.
I’m pro-choice and once served on the Board of Directors of the Yolo County Planned Parenthood affiliate.
Thank you for your consideration.

After all of the coverage. All of the posts. All of the madness…. no endorsement?
Why do you think it is OK to tell people how to vote on ballot measures but not candidates?
It is your blog. It just seemed obvious that you would announce your favorites at some point.

It’s a fair question Matt, I just never liked it when the local paper picked favorites in local races. So I’ve always told myself I wouldn’t do it. I see ballot measures differently, they are not people. But I can see reasonable people wondering if there is really a big distinction between endorsing ballot measures and endorsing candidates.

I support Joe Specter and Bob Schelen for School Board. I trust that they will sincerely do their best to fulfill their campaign platforms. They have grown as candidates and will represent the students of Davis well.

dpd, while I understand your logic of people vs. ballot measures, I do not agree with it. The two people we elect tomorrow will have every bit as much effect on the lives of Davis schoolkids (or more)as the ballot measures.
In fact the only negative comments I have heard about Measure Q has been that the poor fiscal management of the current (and past) School Boards means that there is a significant possibility that future School Boards will do the same. Therefore, don’t give them more money to squander. I don’t personally buy that argument, and strongly support both ballot measures. I know I will also be voting for Bob Schelen tomorrow. He is the clear first choice of the candidates IMHO. My second School Board vote is currently too close to call. I’m going to use this last 24 hours to learn more about the remaining three candidates.

That was fair that the Vanguard posted candidates own pitch, however, I think it would be ok to still have a vanguard opinion, but if the DPD does not feel comfortable then thats a choice and thats ok too.
A Newspaper is supposed to be nonbiased but an editorial does not have to be. The only important thing is that a reader or viewer knows if an article or news report is an opinion not a biased report pretending not to be.
Can we say FOX.

Can anyone expand on Schelen’s claim of education budget experience at the state level? If he’s ever worked on one of the budget committees, it was many years ago. Working in the speaker’s office doesn’t make you a budget expert.

I support Bob Schelen for school board. His record of years of service to the community, his budget experience, especially at the state level and on education budgets, and his strong advocacy for keeping Valley Oak Elementary open as a Charter School are all important reasons to vote for Bob. We need people like Bob on the school board.

His/her position on the issue of the Valley Oak Charter School can reflect whether a candidate is endowed with a real sense of responsibilty and true concern about the needs of students and parents.
All in all, we need someone who is really responsible and truely considerate.

While Spector and Schelen are my choices, the past polling question on keeping VO open(slanted to generate the desired result) among Davis parent-voters and money available for campaigning(why so much for a school board campaign?) suggests that we may very well get two new Board members, one who is outspoken in his VO opposition and another who is pointedly obscure about her position on the VO issue. I am hedging my bet on Spector and/or Schelen getting on the Board with a NO vote on the Boards FIRST ATTEMPT at passage of the school parcel tax(Q) as this is the only leverage that the sizable but still minority pro-VO voters have.

“I can see reasonable people wondering if there is really a big distinction between endorsing ballot measures and endorsing candidates.”
I recall David Greenwald endorsing candidates on this blog. He heartily opposed the election of Matt Rexroad for the supervisor position in Yolo County. While he couldn’t vote for Sieferman, that didn’t prevent him from endorsing him.
Greenwald said electing Rexroad was dangerous, because Greenwald believed Rexroad was a Republican who had ambitions for higher office. Greenwald therefore concluded that Rexroad should be stopped by Democrats.
So this “I just never liked it when the local paper picked favorites in local races” line is not completely true.
This is what Greenwald wrote on this blog about how much he wanted to see Rexroad defeated:
“While I certainly would not vote for Matt Rexroad if I lived in his district, in all fairness he was a target of opportunity. … At some point, Democrats are going to realize that when they support Republicans for DA or County Supervisor, they are starting the career of a promising young politician.”
The Davis Enterprise wrote: “We respect (Rexroad) for his intellect, his abilities and his leadership.”
That made David Greenwald sick to his stomach: “Let me tell, I’m just relieved I was not eating when I read that last line.”
Greenwald concluded: “Folks … Matt Rexroad is 38 years old. Do you really believe that (he is) going to be content to stay in (this) office for long? (He is) going to be (a) prime candidate for Assembly, State Senate, Congress, etc.”

While I think it is grand that Spector and Schelen support the Charter School, it really doesn’t matter. The school board can not stop VOCS from happening. The School Board and the Charter folks will simply shape whatever relationship they are to have. Hopefully, they will be able to come together to make it a positive and amicable one for the sake of the kids. I think Richard Harris, in his opposition to the Charter, showed his ignorance on the issue.
I believe Joe Spector and Bob Schelen both also support Measure Q, so I am not sure why it needs to be held hostage pending the VOCS process.

I hate to admit, Bob Dunning (dare I mention his name in the Vanguard?) had it right on Sunday. Preserving Valley Oak School is the key issue in this BOE election. If you care about saving the only minority/majority school in the core area of town, vote for Joe Spector and Bob Schelen. If you don’t, vote for the others…..I care about Valley Oak and the children who are served by this fine school.

That may be technically true,however, the new School Board’s “relationship” with Valley Oak Charter School will be watched closely by parents who are considering enrolling their children in this new educational enterprise.
An enthusiastic, supportive Board majority will go a long way to ensure a substantial student enrollment and VO Charter School success.
