<span style="font-kerning: none;">I sent this message today to people who received an email from TUSD board candidate Mark Stegeman, challenging me to a debate based on my prior Facebook post.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Mark Stegeman, in an email to many of you, referenced a message that I posted on my personal Facebook page indicating why I will not be voting for him for the TUSD board. In his email to you, Mark Stegeman said he would like to challenge me to a debate. Although he did not send this request to me, many of you forwarded it on to me. If Mark Stegeman would like to help me share a much more optimistic perspective of TUSD than he holds, in a public setting before the election, I would be happy to do so.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I am a TUSD parent, a former TUSD student and a volunteer public education advocate who cares deeply about the quality of our community’s largest school district. </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">As a TUSD parent, I have noticed improvements in our schools under the current board majority: Cam Juarez, Kristel Foster and Adelita Grijalva and under the current superintendent, H.T. Sanchez.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have seen enrollment in the district pull out of a free fall and start to rise. I have seen the end to rampant school closures, with the repurposing of some schools into early-education centers. I have seen much, much improved communication with parents, both at the district level and the school level. I have seen teachers move from other districts to take jobs within TUSD. On a daily basis, I see highly dedicated teachers, principals, counselors, librarians, coaches, support staff and district-level employees working very hard to provide a quality-level education for our children.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Is there room for improvement? Of course. There always will be in a large institution with an elected board. But in a state that so dismally funds its public schools — failing its children and their teachers — TUSD, like all districts, faces problems endemic to lack of adequate funding, such as teacher shortages and crumbling infrastructure. Arizona faces the worst teacher shortage in the nation and the Governor and state Legislature have seen fit to defund basic school repairs.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">In times like these — when we have a Governor and a state Legislature intent on dismantling public education by dramatically defunding it and then claiming it is inextricably broken — we dot not have the luxury of keeping dysfunctional board members in a role where they either wittingly or unwittingly do the state Legislature’s bidding for them. A watchdog is different than an attack dog.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We live in an era where some, including elected officials, work diligently to tear down public institutions, often with misinformation and misleading information. That is unfortunate, especially when tearing down those public institutions, such as school districts, actually harms children, who do not have the power to vote.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">All of you are community leaders. Your opinions matter, as does where you receive your information. Sometimes when all you hear is that something is completely broken, it’s easy to believe that is the case. That’s one reason I decided to respond, rather than let Mark Stegeman’s comments continue to go unanswered.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">As a TUSD parent and a statewide public education advocate who has observed not only TUSD but other school districts at a close level for more than eight years, I can tell you that Mark Stegeman’s doom-and-gloom constant narrative about TUSD is not true. (Nor is his statement that he has only interacted with me only two or three times over the past eight years. That statement is false. I’m not sure why he would say something misleading about such a small matter.)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Tucson Unified has no time for tomato throwing, as my fellow TUSD Governing Board member shared last week. We must focus on a shared vision, not board drama, and commit to moving our school district forward.</div>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-preview" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
When Cam Juárez and I were elected to the Governing Board in 2012, it changed the TUSD board majority and the direction of the district. One of our first votes was to halt the outsourcing of transportation, custodians, payroll and human resources. We also unbanned books and approved culturally relevant classes, which mirror (as much as the law allows) the successful Mexican American Studies classes that the previous board suspended.</div>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-only" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In 2014, we approved a Strategic Plan that 400 stakeholders helped to create, providing us with a precise vision and necessary steps to improve TUSD facilities, communication, curriculum, finance and diversity, all of which align to our desegregation plan.</div>
</div>
<div class="tncms-region " id="tncms-region-article_instory_top" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
</div>
<div class="subscriber-only" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This blueprint allows us to focus on concrete work, rather than endlessly criticizing administration. With this guiding framework, already, we have reopened closed schools as early childhood centers to better connect with younger students. We established community centers to help struggling families meet their basic needs. We installed solar and implemented school garden programs to model sustainability and responsible citizenship. With the help of community leaders, we re-enrolled more than 500 students who had dropped out of school. We increased academic achievement and decreased suspension rates of minority students to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. And finally, we are just months away from settling our 40-year old desegregation case.Most impressively, we have done an about-face when it comes to our notorious enrollment loss. In fact, 228 more K-12 students have entered TUSD since the 40th day of the 2015-16 school year compared to the 52nd school day this year.</div>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-only" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This shows a growing trust and belief in TUSD and will increase our state funding by almost $4 million.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In 2016, if our school board changes direction we could return to the chaos we previously saw with more school closures, outsourcing of blue-collar staff and a setback in our desegregation case. We cannot let that happen. I value our neighborhood schools, and I owe our accomplishments to the diligent work that custodians, cafeteria workers, school secretaries, bus drivers, principals and teachers do every day for our students in TUSD.</div>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-only" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
We have seen more sensationalized stories and misinformation than ever before during this election year. Our local races matter just as much as the presidency, especially when it comes to our kids. With your vote for TUSD, please do your research and consider individuals who are collaborative, focused on kids and schools and will commit to moving the district forward in a positive direction.</div>

By Sarah Launius</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
There’s some real mixed messages coming from some of the TUSD Board Candidates on where they stand on school closures. You may have seen these signs up at Campbell near 6th Street.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
<img alt="tkf_lies" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5154" sizes="(max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px" src="https://voicesofcasamaria.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/tkf_lies.jpg?w=640" srcset="https://voicesofcasamaria.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/tkf_lies.jpg 222x, https://voicesofcasamaria.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/tkf_lies.jpg?w=84 84x" style="border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.692307em; max-width: 100%; padding: 1px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
When I saw these new signs last week I had two thoughts. First, the signs seemed completely inaccurate based on what I know. Second, I was infuriated that the “TUSD Kids First” assume that the general public is so stupid that they somehow wouldn’t know this.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
Here’s the thing, beyond anything else, the TUSD Kids First campaign is endorsing Stegeman, Rustand and Betts. Of all the candidates, Stegeman is the ONLY one who has, in fact, closed schools. So, give me a break.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
We’ve written about the responses to our school closure questions at the TUSD Candidate forum on October 13 <a href="https://vocesdecasamaria.org/2016/10/26/tusd-candidate-forum-school-closures/" style="color: #dd5424; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a>, where we include background necessary to aid our neighbors in making an informed decision.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
David Safier, writing for the Tucson Weekly, also recently published on how candidates have shifted their statements on school closures during the race as well as contradictions with the voting records for the three incumbents. You can find Safier’s piece <a href="http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2016/10/25/which-tusd-board-candidates-favor-closing-more-schools" style="color: #dd5424; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.692307em;">
Safier mentions a few pieces that we missed. First, he discusses the operational efficiency audit that we reference in our previous blog (see too Sedgwick’s comment to Safier’s piece – but you might get disgusted if you read all the comments like we did). He also identifies statements from Rustand and Sedgwick from the forum at Palo Verde High School that indicate they believe closures should be on the table. Sedgwick discusses the possible need for school consolidations in a response to gender-neutral bathrooms in schools–which was probably an honest response from her but certainly didn’t require her to discuss consolidations. You can find that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOrolt4ZURE" style="color: #dd5424; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a> around 1:12:00. She takes it up again around 1:35:00. Rustand discusses how TUSD may have to make hard decisions about school closures. You can find it here around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOrolt4ZURE" style="color: #dd5424; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">1:34:00</a>.</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">What is the difference between a reformer and a saboteur? It mostly comes down to motivations. A reformer wants to improve an institution or an organization because it’s the right thing to do. A saboteur acts out of self-interest, pursuing a personal power game. It can become confusing when a saboteur poses as a reformer. By doing so, the saboteur tries to convince people that he is looking out for the organization, when in fact he is trying to undermine it for personal gain.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">That is the agenda deployed by Mark Stegeman, who is running for re-election to the TUSD school board. As a TUSD parent and a public education advocate, I have watched Stegeman in action now for many years. I have seen him undermine superintendent after superintendent. I have witnessed him sow seeds of division at school board meetings.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have watched as he cynically sells his twisted story about TUSD to members of the public.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This is not how functional school board members behave. Yes, they must be watchdogs, not just cheerleaders. But at what point do a school board member’s actions cross over into being destructive rather than constructive? That is a line Stegeman crossed long ago.In his recent op-ed to the Star, he once again launched into his typical diatribe against TUSD, a perspective that the Star’s news section often parrots. Although his op-ed was incredibly self-serving, given that he is running for re-election, the Star ran it anyway, not giving the same space to the other candidates. By doing so, the Star allowed Stegeman to once again spread his twisted story about TUSD. Why is the Star giving so much weight to an individual who has worked so diligently to harm an institution that must succeed for the health of our community’s children and economic development? </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Failure is not an option for our public schools. Yet Stegeman is trying to ensure that it happens. In that way, he has much in common with Arizona’s state Legislature. I could counter his arguments point by point, but facts are not really what matter to Stegeman. He also shares that trait with anti-public education legislators. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #00364a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It’s all about selling a story. So, here’s how Stegeman’s story goes: TUSD is horribly screwed up. I’m really important because I constantly point out how horribly screwed up TUSD is. Although I’ve done absolutely nothing to fix what I constantly point out as being horribly screwed up, you should re-elect me so I can keep telling you how horribly screwed up TUSD is.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">So, TUSD voters, is this really someone you really want to re-elect?

<span style="font-kerning: none;">She answered..."The main difference between opt-in and opt-out has to do with what is the “norm.” If we have to get permission from parents to teach specific content through opting in, it’s as if that particular curriculum is not the norm. This insinuates controversy and taboo, something you have to get permission to do. Knowledge of how one’s body works and how to keep it safe and healthy should not be controversial or taboo.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">When a set curriculum is the norm and certain parents choose to opt out, well then, it’s the prerogative of the parent to perceive the content as controversial, but the standard understanding is that it is simply normal.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Imagine if we had students opt in to saying the Pledge of Allegiance. We don’t, because we hold that as the norm for all to recite at the beginning of every school day. There is nothing controversial or taboo about that. Certain parents, however, decide to opt their children out of this practice, and the opinion of whether or not the Pledge is controversial lies with them, and doesn’t affect the majority of people who consider the Pledge to be an appropriate and normal routine to practice every day."</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(32, 32, 32); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><b>Kristel Ann Foster was asked....</b></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(178, 34, 34); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: firebrick;"><b>TUSD recently voted to include comprehensive sexuality education in its classrooms. What would you like this new curriculum to look like? </b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Her response: "Like many school districts, TUSD has a sex-ed policy with the word “comprehensive.’’ But this word is often up for interpretation. We revised our policy to define the word “comprehensive” so that we are clear that our classes provide medically accurate, age-appropriate information about anatomy and reproduction, teach students about the risks of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, and empower students to make decisions for themselves about their bodies and relationships.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We have appointed a committee of community members who will come together and review current curriculum, and possible new curriculum to adopt, to make sure these materials cover this definition of “comprehensive,” and do so in a way that respects the diverse opinions and perspectives in our community."</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(32, 32, 32);"><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i>Good working conditions are good learning conditions: </i></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; min-height: 23px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I advocate for teacher centered, site based professional development to bring more autonomy to the educators who know how to improve student achievement. I advocate for our teachers to be involved in curriculum and assessment development. I respect the professionalism of our educators and from first hand experience, know that the right and responsibility to make instructional decisions is the biggest form of respect we can show our teachers. I appreciate that different sites are at different points in developing this, but this is the direction in which I guide my feedback to district leadership.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We have more work to do with student behavior. We have embraced the work to intervene the school to prison pipeline by setting goals to reduce our suspension and expulsion rate for all kids. We are educators, in the business of teaching kids, and this means helping them learn how to control themselves and behave in stressful situations. We can’t help them with this when we push them out of our schools by suspending and expelling them. As one principal said to me, “They will come back, and then what?” She would rather work with her faculty and staff to help kids to behave differently rather than punish them with time away from their classroom. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I recognize this is a big cultural shift. Not all of our teachers and principals know what to do or how to help the most difficult kids at their sites. We have invested in professional development in PBIS (Positive Behavior Incentive Systems) and Restorative Practice & Conflict Resolution. I also advocate at every chance I can for more counselors, social workers and therapists. We can’t get our most severely misbehaved kids the help they and their families need if we don’t have the personnel with the professional knowledge and skill to do so. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Lastly, we must have Board members who commit to building trust with our community. No one will vote for a bond or an override to fund our schools if they don’t trust the district. With the current legislature, the state is not funding public education, so we must find ways to fund our schools here in our community ourselves. This is critical because we are the oldest district in the state, which means we have the oldest buildings which need the most repair and work. Refurbishing our sites to modern 21st century buildings is the right thing to do for our students. They deserve the best facilities and setting all the right conditions in place to fund this starts with a school board our community can trust. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">By collaborating with Mayor Rothschild, business leaders and community members, we developed an award winning strategic plan, brought 400 drops outs back to school, rolled up our sleeves and repaired dozens of buildings ourselves and traveled to Phoenix to advocate for public education. We are on track to achieving every goal within this 5 year plan and are working to build a public education alliance across the state to do better for our TUSD kids.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(61, 81, 109); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #3d516d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We’ve been recognized for this collaboration. Last year we won the <i>Metropolitan Pima Alliance Common Ground Award </i>for our<i> 5 Year Strategic Plan</i>, and just last week, it was announced that we’ve won another one this year for our <i>Steps to Success</i> collaboration with the mayor to bring over 500 students who had dropped out back to school.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">As for our advocacy, TUSD has made a presence at the state capitol like never before. Our superintendent, Dr. HT Sanchez was recognized by the <i>Arizona Capitol Times</i> as the Testifier of the Year during the 2015 legislative session, for being such a convincing speaker about our work, that the Appropriations Committee stopped a bill in it’s track that would have defended our district of over $64 million. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We are more transparent than ever. We’ve won two awards for financial reporting and our monthly budget presentations are accessible to everyone online. Our previous CFO had over 20 findings to rectify when we submitted our final budget. Now we only have 6 to correct. This is incredible progress when it comes to our finance department. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">With extreme budget cuts from the state, we have shifted resources and priorities to increase classroom spending by 4%. We could put more money in the classroom by outsourcing our bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers. That will be the solution by some....but not mine...our classified staff is part of our team and their jobs are not collateral I'm willing to cut just to raise our classroom spending percentage at the state. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We’ve given four employee raises so far and I am working every day to do even more for teacher salaries. We gave our staff a raise <i>before</i> the Prop 123 vote so our employees knew they'd get more money with or without voter support. For teachers, this was a $1300 increase on the salary schedule. When Prop 123 passed, we added $700 more....so each teacher has an increase of $2000 per year. And that's before Prop 301 performance pay. For participating in 10 district PLC meetings on Wednesday afternoons, teachers can earn another $3000. Together this is $5000 more a year for our teachers. I am very proud of this work with TEA and administration to make this happen for the professional educators who serve our kids in TUSD. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I am a teacher and a public-education advocate completing my first term on the Tucson Unified Governing Board. I am honored to bring an educator’s perspective to the decisions we make to move Tucson Unified forward.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">At the height of a very contentious time, my win in 2012 helped transform district leadership and the direction the district was headed. I am proud of my work with Superintendent Dr. HT Sanchez and my fellow Board members, Cam Juarez and Adelita Grijalva. Together, we focus on the goals outlined in our community-created Five Year Strategic Plan. This collaboration, continuity, stability and articulated vision was missing for a long time in TUSD. </span></div>
