Scotts Valley School Board Candidates

Scotts Valley Times asked Scotts Valley Unified School District candidates Pat Adams, Lucía Rocha Nestler, Roger Snyder and Corey Warner to answer three questions. Two seats are open in the election on Nov. 8.
Are you satisfied with board policies of the last four years reflecting the wishes of the Scotts Valley community? Give examples.
Pat Adams: We can do better for our students, our teachers, and our parents, but if we keep doing the same thing, with the same people, we’ll get the same result.
Local school boards should make pertinent decisions for the students that live in their district, without wasting vital finances on what may not apply locally.
Distant government making rules for locals don’t even know who we serve.
Politics should not rule education, and children should never be pawns in the political machine.
For example, locally our only inperson school for months and months was Baymonte. Many parents un-enrolled their kids from public school and transferred because our local kids were not getting the quality education they deserve, and that our tax dollars were paying for.
As other districts began to reopen, our school board kept students at a distance, creating drastic learning loss, and mental/ emotional hardships for our kids.
Lucía Rocha Nestler: I understand that the board has been trying to lead the district while living through the pandemic, so in that regards, I think that
the district responded well to the directives they were getting from the State and County. I think that having an increased focus on mental health to support students at schools has been a welcomed addition to the schools.
