State Legislature Candidates Respond to Education Questionnaire

2010-10-25

SAN BERNARDINO - An organization of school district board members and superintendents contacted 24 state legislative candidates to poll their views on educational issues prior to the Nov. 2 general election.

The San Bernardino County District Advocates for Better Schools (SANDABS) executive committee - composed of nine school board members, nine district superintendents, and the county superintendent - has surveyed and interviewed state Senate and Assembly candidates since 1988. The purpose has been an opportunity for candidates to be introduced to SANDABS and to set the foundation for future discussions with successful candidates. SANDABS does not endorse candidates.

Plus, the process provides an opportunity for candidates to share their views and opinions on issues affecting public education with constituents from the educational community.

Senate and Assembly candidates, who have at least a portion of their respective districts in San Bernardino County, were contacted for the survey. Not all candidates provided responses to the questionnaire. Candidates who did reply have responses published after each question.
