Create Better Schools
One key concern for parents with school-age children moving to a new neighborhood is the quality of the local schools. Many new families relocating to Azusa are not enrolling their children in our local school district, which ranks in the bottom 50% of the state in reading skills. It is rated in the low # 110.
School funding is not the issue because AUSD receives among the state's highest funding per student and pays its superintendent a total salary of $314,326 as of 2022 after a 22% wage increase.
I will work with the school board and the city to build affordable housing for our school teachers and staff. Retaining school teachers and staff is the keystone to improving our schools. When we improve our schools' performance, we retain and attract families.
As your councilman, I will partner with our school authorities to improve our ratings and address the needs of our schoolchildren by providing facilities, after-school programs, tutoring, and Wi-Fi access.
