Issues

Improving Student Outcomes

District-wide, nearly half of our students are not meeting English standards. More than half of our students are not meeting Math standards. We have a responsibility to ensure that students are successful and that means supporting teachers. We must retain and hire quality educators who inspire children to learn. As Trustee, I will focus on policies that expand learning opportunities with curriculum and teaching methods that have a proven track record.

Be the Voice of the Parents

As a parent of 3 children who attend San Diego Unified schools, I will listen to and support parents to make sure their voices are heard at every level. It’s also important to have open collaboration between parents and teachers and to strengthen the home to school partnership. When elected, I will hold regular meetings with schools and parents to understand the issues and opportunities in each district A school community.

Ensuring Accountability and Transparency

It’s time we start holding the board accountable. It's the Board's job to make sure that all resources are directed to fulfill the mission of San Diego Unified - to support student success. As Trustee, I won't approve spending that doesn't positively impact student success. I will also push for goals with measurable outcomes to hold the board accountable and communicate how decisions are made and why.

Improving Campus Climate/Infrastructure

Student safety is an utmost priority. As a board member, I will ensure the safety of all students is always the most important consideration. This not only includes physical safety, but mental and emotional safety that supports student voice.

Fiscal Responsibility

Did you know that roughly 45% of our property taxes go our local schools? This is why it's so important that San Diego Unified uses your tax dollars judiciously.

Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association

Pledge To Stand Up For Taxpayers

Dr. Crystal Trull, candidate for San Diego Unified School Board District A, signed the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Pledge to Stand Up for Taxpayers on June 29th, 2024.

I hereby make the following pledge:

I support Proposition 13, the initiative constitutional amendment passed by voters in 1978 to limit taxes and give taxpayers greater control over taxation.


I believe Proposition 13 is fair, valuing property for tax purposes as of the date of purchase and allowing only limited annual increases for inflation, in order to prevent the taxation of “paper profits.”


I believe taxpayers have a right to vote on all tax increases.


I support California’s system of citizen access to the initiative process.


I believe that a two-thirds vote of the electorate should be required to approve local bonds that must be repaid by property owners.

 

I support the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, Proposition 218, passed by voters in 1996 to strengthen the right of local taxpayers to vote on taxes and require a vote of property owners to approve assessments on property.
