Should a "Regular Mom" be on our School Board?

Is a regular mom the best qualified be on the school
board? We talk to Theresa Beals, and hear where she
stands on the business of education.


In this edition: Theresa Beals is running for school board
against experienced educators and administrators. But not all of
our board now come from professional backgrounds. Is Beals the
type of person that should be on our board? We talk to her in an
in-depth interview.


Meet the Candidate – Theresa Beals, on today's
RadioElkGrove. Let's look into it together.

The Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Trustees is
becoming more and more populated by highly trained, skilled
administrators with long standing ties to the district. Members
of Financial Advisory council, education professionals. But our
longest serving members were more homespun.


Though well educated, Theresa Beals is just that: a mom, who
wants to make a difference. She is running against Carmine
Forcina and incumbent Al Rowlett for the Area 7 seat.


As our interview progressed, we found Beals to have a unique
perspective. Her three children run the gamut of needs within the
educational system, from a special needs child to GATE, or gifted
and talented.


We got a chance to talk about her views on the district, and her
reasons for running.
