Who
is Alecia Chasten and why should you vote her in for School
Board of Trustee?
I have lived in the North Highlands area for over 40 years, raising three children with my husband. I believe education is the most important gift we can give our young people. I am passionate about ensuring that all school age students receive a valuable educational experience that provides a strong foundation and meaningful opportunities for their future.
The reasons I decided to participate as a candidate for School Board Trustee, Area 3, North Highlands, (South of Antelope Road to Roseville Road), is improve the quality our children’s education, but more importantly, to create future leaders, entrepreneurs and college-bound students. I believe our district can achieve and exceed in producing high-quality educational programs and setting the standards similar to districts such as Granite Bay, Rocklin, or Roseville.
On November 6th, 2007, the voters will decide on reorganization also known as Measure
B, and also choose the new school board trustees. The four school districts involved in the reorganization include North Sacramento, Del Paso, Rio Linda and Grant School Districts. If Measure B passes, it will bring an additional approximately $15 million annually above what the four districts are currently being funded by the State. |

Educational, community and business leaders agree that reorganization of these four districts into a New North Area Unified District increases the opportunity for significant improvement of educational services through:
- Increased financial stability and accountability
- Consistent academic standards
- Shared resources
- Consolidated services that free up funding for classroom programs, books and supplies.
- Students would have additional choices within the new unified district
- Additional opportunities to create and/or improve specialized schools that can better meet educational needs in technology,
business, science, or visual and performing arts.
- Resources, programs and experience brought together in the new district.
- Four North Area districts would become a new unified Preschool through 12th grade school district.
My priority will be to create opportunities to retain the best teachers and attract new talented teachers for our district. I am very committed in supporting our teachers, Para educators, teacher assistant’s and other school employees with opportunities for advancement, special incentives, training, and the tools needed to help our children succeed.
As parents, it is crucial for us to be seen and our voices heard on campus. My goal as a newly elected board member is to level the playing field for our stakeholders: children, parents, teachers and all school employees by implementing high-quality educational programs that will create college-bound students, leaders’ and entrepreneurs’ that can compete with the best of the best.
My experience and leadership skills include serving as PTA President, Vice-President, a Board Director with our North Highlands Recreation and Park District, and as a member of School Site Councils at the elementary and high school levels. I have served on the Budget and Finance and Community Relations Committee with the park district. I have worked on complex issues and implemented effective solutions to benefit our community. When elected, my priorities will be to support our teachers, employees, and administrators with more tools and opportunities, create more parent involvement opportunities, and demand accountability, administrative cost savings and financial stability.
Please join the teacher associations in all four school districts (Rio Linda, Grant, Del Paso North Sacramento) and Mr. James Shelby, a Citrus Heights Councilmember and CEO of The Greater Sacramento Urban League in supporting my candidacy for the New School Board Trustee and to vote YES for Measure B.
