Breeze endorsements in two races
Today, Daily Breeze Editorial Page Editor Mike Carroll released endorsements for the Centinela Valley Union High School District and the El Segundo Unified School District.
The paper chose Gloria Ramos-Jaime and Sandra Suarez over incumbents Jorge Luis Arroyo and Rafael Ramirez. Here's an excerpt from the editorial.
The challengers said they would focus on more technology- and industry-based education and ensure that classrooms at the performing arts center will be used to the benefit of students. Ramos-Jaime recognizes that smaller learning environments, such as Lawndale High, offer a better chance to improve student performance. Rather than trying more experimental programs, Suarez would like to see the district create a culture of high expectations and achievement.
In El Segundo, Tammy Tagami Reeves and Lisa Wilkin picked up the nod over Aleta Pottenger in the editorial.
