School Board Elections

I too have been very concerned about the lack of information on the citizens who are running for School Board positions. I would like to see a forum expressing their views of the present state of affairs and how they would like to see them change.

I would like to know which of the members actually live in Grand Terrace. Although we have to be a part of the Colton School District because we lost the election by a narrow amount to separate from them, we are a completely different City and want to continue our way of life. The influx of students being bussed to our high school will greatly impact our City and should be taken into account by our Planning Department.

I am proud of the fact that our citizens care about the City affairs and how they will affect the generations to come. Grand Terrace has always benefited by the fact that it is a small town community and a way of life apart from the larger cities of Riverside and San Bernardino. However, we cannot get away from the fact that we are greatly impacted by their air pollution and the fact that there is a large increase of respiratory diseases in our citizens.

As potential representatives of our City, I would hope that anyone running for office would be forthright with information impacting the citizens. Tell us what you are about. We want to know.
