In response to a survey published by La Prensa San Diego, Segura answered several questions outlining his campaign themes and vision.
| “ | What do you believe is the number one issue with the district? In addition to increasing transparency and community engagement and preventing corruption, our district’s top priority needs to be providing equal access to a high quality education for all children at their neighborhood schools, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic background. What qualities are will you looking for in hiring a superintendent? An excellent candidate for superintendent needs demonstrate the following leadership qualities: · Responsive to the demands of all constituents in the district including students, teachers, parents, staff and the community at large; · Dynamic communications and reflective listening skills; · Place value in community and public input and perspectives; · and, above all, a superintendent must always be in tune with “what is best for all students.” Board accountability has been lacking, how will you hold the board accountable? The Board needs to gain a good understanding of the policies and procedures that are being voted on – this can be accomplished with an in-depth orientation that clearly outlines Board procedures, policies, and responsibilities. The decisions board members make have a direct impact on students and staff, and each board member must be accountable for the actions. The Board should adhere to transparency of all decisions and welcome stakeholder input on all decisions. What do you believe is your role in interacting with teachers? I believe communicating with teachers is essential. Teachers’ input is critical in identifying what new resources are need and in providing quality education for all students. What are your financial priorities? The Local Control Accountability Plan provides the district with guidelines on how district funds will be spent. The district must develop goals and actions with stakeholder input that will measure student outcomes and increase student achievement and performance.[6] |
