Steve’s Platform

Let’s work together to keep politics out of our schools and focus on education!

Champion for students and parents 

  • Do you have a question or concern about your student’s education? Contact Steve! Parents know that he’ll follow up and help you resolve it. 
  • You’ll see Steve at most school events, talking with parents and students. He wants to know how learning is going and what students need to succeed. 
  • Steve belongs to every PTA and PTSA in his area and attends their meetings.

Experienced educator and trustee 

  • With 40 years as a teacher and administrator, plus four years on the Temecula School Board, Steve knows our schools’ strengths—like our dedicated teachers—and sees the areas that need work, like school safety and test scores. 
  • His experience helps him understand where and how the district should spend its limited funding. 
  • Steve visits schools often and talks with the whole staff—not just teachers and principals, but also aides, kitchen workers, counselors, custodians, campus security, volunteers. 

Honest and transparent 

  • You always know where you stand with Steve. He tells you what he thinks and what his priorities are.

    • Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, which help students prepare for high-wage, high-demand careers, by adding Engineering & Architecture and Regenerative Agriculture
    • Increase the number of school counselors and social workers to address student mental health issues in the wake of the pandemic
    • Support Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Programs in our schools
    • Approve plans he helped develop to provide the best programs for our Special Education kids, foster youth, homeless students, and English Language learners
