| Mayoral candidate Bonnie Dumanis released an eight-point plan to reform San Diego schools.
Here are the elements: |
| 1. Back a ballot measure in 2014 that would add four mayoral appointments to the school board. |
| 2. Establish an independent financial oversight board. |
| 3. Add parents of students to the district’s contract negotiating team. |
| 4. Renegotiate existing labor contracts. |
| 5. No new taxes. |
| 6. Create a task force to advocate for reforms to state education funding. |
| 7. Work with job training programs to place more high school students in summer jobs. |
| 8. Create a new city department to act as a liaison between the Mayor’s Office and the school district. |
