Tracey Miller-Zarneke from page 5
I would propose that whatever social emotional
programming we bring through the
classrooms to our students is also officially
taught to our (willing) parents so that we can
support our students from all sides -- offering
the same caring approach from peers, families
and the school community. Anxiety levels
amongst students are higher in today’s world
than what any of us current adults experienced
in our youth, and our “village” must rally to
help alleviate it.
What is your position on the Measure ES
school bond?
We need it to pass. Compared to all surrounding
communities, our district has been
conservative on facilities spending in the past
and many things need fixing/updating right
now. I wish there were other ways for public
schools to earn money for facilities, but a bond
or a parcel tax is it. The bond seems like the
better choice for our town and facilities needs,
so I support it.
What decision from the current board do
you most agree with? Most disagree with?
What would you have done differently?
I applaud their positive reaction to the
refinement of the Graduate Profile that is in
progress by Dr. Gooden and Dr. Hawn. This
comprehensive, well-researched document will
guide teachers to stay on the same path K-12
to produce the most capable young adults for
the world they will inherit upon graduation.
As for disagreement, no major issues come to
mind. I’ve watched many Board meetings and
follow the rational, thoughtful discussion that
precedes big decisions.
Why should voters elect you?
I have gained valuable insight during these
last nine years of engaged, involved participation
as a parent volunteer in our schools. I
have a well-tuned sense of what is right for
our school community and want to apply all
this current institutional knowledge to making
smart decisions for our future. Exceptional
public schools are good for their community.
Maintaining high standards at ESUSD is good
for El Segundo.
What should be done to ensure school
site safety?
While no means is foolproof, I appreciate the
fencing and upgrades to entry security systems
that is being implemented at this time. Having
read the latest security analysis provided by the
safety consultant hired by the District, I know
the changes being made now and in the next
phases make sense, and I would continue to
evaluate the school environments to see that
chosen options are sufficient and appropriate.
What are your thoughts on the Facilities
Master Plan and what should be prioritized?
I have attended many meetings about the
plan over the past three years, so I know the
plan has been well-vetted and refined. To prioritize
projects, I would focus on the number
of students affected by each facility issue. For
example, I would suggest repairing or adding
HVAC in rooms where students must study for
hours on end at the high school before making
the snack bar more habitable.
What is your feeling about the City/
District relationship and what, if anything,
should change?
I believe it is improving with the newly
seated City Council. I am optimistic that it will
continue to do so if I am elected, as I have
amicable, mutually respectful relationships with
all Council members as well as various City
department heads. I will seek to further build
upon those relationships to the benefit of both
our city and our schools and to develop other
community partnerships and opportunities for
our students and teachers.
What is your opinion on the District’s
recent aquatics use agreement with the City
of El Segundo?
While it seems odd to some for the City
to ask ESUSD for such a notable investment,
times are changing and financial realities are
harsh…there is an ask for stakeholders to take
more financial responsibility at many levels
in our city at this time. I believe the City and
ESUSD must work together to support each
other going forward, hoping the flow is back
and forth to benefit each other and therefore
the greater community.
What is your opinion on the International
Baccalaureate Programme at El Segundo
Middle School and if it is the right path?
I support the IB MYP. Now in my fourth
year as a middle school parent (two boys three
years apart), I see the IB methodology in action
with the depth and breadth of thought
processes in my sons and recognize their skills
of analysis and understanding are far more
developed than mine ever were as a teen. I
am thrilled that they still learn state standards
while also establishing valuable critical thinking
and problem-solving skills.
What is the best way to ensure high academic
scores and to address any score drops
(such as in Math, English Language Arts)?
The individual sites need to continue to
evaluate the effects of shifts in schedules,
staffing, and/or demographics plus perhaps
review lesson plans more diligently. School
administration should then steer the academic
ship to correct for the turning tides. I would
consider perhaps adding a bit more time to
the school day, or allowing larger blocks for
math and languages weekly to better support
retention in these subjects.
What should be done with the surplus
monies from the Imperial School land sale?
I think it was wise to invest the core
balance to provide an estimated $525,000
annually in legacy funding for future needs.
I appreciate the surplus monies being spent
now on immediate concerns such as the newly
“triggered” school safety issues and as much
of the outgrown space scenarios as it could
afford…but knowing there are so many other
urgent needs, I realize it must have been a
hard decision to know where to begin.
What is your take on state funding challenges
and how to address those?
ESUSD is shorted by the LCFF [Local
Control Funding Formula] to calculate the
ADA [Average Daily Attendance] allotment—
in other words, the dollar amount
granted per student per school day. ESUSD is
low in sub-group population and thus misses
out on added sub-group and concentration
grants, garnering only two-thirds of the state
average allotment per student. ESUSD must
take issue at the state level, and meanwhile
our education foundation must consider all
viable fundraising options to supplement
this deficit.
What didn’t we ask that you feel is
important to address?
Would you bring your passion for environmental
thinking that you currently try to
infuse at the City level (as Chair of the El
Segundo Environmental Committee) into the
schools? Why yes, of course I would, as I
believe taking care of our planet should be as
natural of a human inclination as taking care
of oneself. We need to weave this practice
into our culture to set up the future generations
for success…and continued existence.
There are many steps ESUSD can take to
serve as a role model for sustainable entities,
and to teach our students by example
of being eco-consciously responsible.
What is something about you that people
would be surprised to know about?
I provided the voice for a character in a
Disney animated movie. •
