AZSW Endorses Zaragoza for Creighton Elementary

Dear Friends,

I am running for the Governing School Board of Creighton Elementary District in Phoenix, AZ. My vision for our community is celebrating sustainable, significant, academic achievement. With you support, we can make this vision a reality.

Today, many people say that Creighton is a decent school district. Eight of nine schools are rated Performing, and two of these schools are rated Performing Plus. According to Arizona’s education accountability ratings, Creighton schools are by and large meeting or slightly exceeding Arizona’s minimal education standards.

Strangely, as a community we currently celebrate schools that just barely meet the already low expectations. Personally, meeting Arizona’s minimal education goals is not nearly good enough. Our current expectations of our children are way too low! With this culture currently intact, our children reach the workforce less educated, unmotivated, and uncompetitive. We must change these expectations immediately.

My priority as a Governing Board Member will always be sustainable, significant, academic achievement, above and beyond the Arizona prescription. With an unwavering commitment, I will emphasize a culture of high expectations and accountability. I realize it takes more than just schools to educate our children. As a Governing Board Member, I will work to actively engage and invest families and the community at large in our students’ success. Our children deserve it.

Please consider a $25 contribution to my campaign. The unpaid, elected position of Governing Board Member is a tremendous responsibility and worthy commitment, but it takes time and money to communicate effectively with the entire community. Please write a check today to:

Please include your name, address, profession, and employer for proper election reporting.

Your partnership in my vision of celebrating sustainable, significant, academic achievement is valued and appreciated. Thank you all for your support.

Respectfully,

Carl Zaragoza
