Welcome to TIM TOM for East Side Union!

We must focus on providing a "caring school climate" that supports students, parents, teachers, and administrators while ensuring educational and academic excellence.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you for everyone's support during my 2008 run for East Side Union High School District. Together we collected over 18,000 votes. Although we recieved a large number of votes, it was not enough to win a seat. Please join the campaign again for another bid in 2010.

As a lifelong resident with a history of community involvement, I am interested in addressing educational issues. education is vital in helping us become who we want to be. Parents, teachers, administrators and peers have built our characters and molded our role as the stewards of our education system. Thus, there should be a FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS: Students, Teachers, Parents and Administrators.

My Priorities Include:

• Creating a "Caring School Climate" with Developmental Assets* from Project Cornerstone
• Focusing on College Guidance Counselors to Assist Students in Pursuing Further Education
• Ensuring Equitable Distribution of Resources & Opportunities across the East Side Schools
• Increasing Communication & Partnership with Stakeholders on the Budget
• Recruiting & Retaining Faculty, Staff & Administrators

I would be honored and humbled to have your support.

Sincerely,

Tim Tom
Candidate, East Side Union High School District
