About the Candidates:
What is your greatest priority for improving education at HMCRA?
Rui Ewald: To promote a strong parent community with the aim to ensure continuity of the great progress made over the past 3 yrs. principals may come and go but the quality of the school’s education should remain steady .
Avinia Rucker: My biggest priority would be improving the schools overall math and reading proficiency.
Janette Fernandez: My priorities are the Math and science areas. I think Reading and Writing already have a good foundation and structure. Social Justice is also very much on track. I think that some changes like STEM programs can improve our Math curriculum.
How do you see yourself representing the parent population if you serve on the Site Council?
Rui Ewald: I want to donate my time in whatever way might be most needed by the school. Ultimately I want to donate my time and skills in a way that can benefit the community
Avinia Rucker: As a parent I know we all want the best for our kids, unfortunately in San Francisco supporting our children’s education can be a financial burden. I want to make sure our kids get the best possible education that everyone can be proud of.
Janette Fernandez: My involvement in Events and Tour committees for the last 2 years has let me know parents from different groups around the school. This will allow me to represent different voices from our community.
