Improve administrative effectiveness in local public education
 
 "I've considered running for the TUSD school board because I'm so frustrated with its mismanagement, but I realize I would just be in the middle of the politics and bureaucracy issues that would make me crazy!"
 "It is sad to see what programs they continue to take away from the children and use that money to hire more highly paid adminstration."
 "Get education bureaucracy out of the way of achievement."
 "The bureaucracy of TUSD is ridiculous."
 "An area is defined by the school district and its achievements."
 "TUSD and some huge school districts should be broken into smaller districts to allow for more hands-on management and bureaucracy."
 "Quality of education and poor school district administration needs to change."
