Fiscal Responsibility
Stop rubber-stamping spending. Scrutinize major contracts, consultants, and projects. Demand results, cut waste, and make every dollar work for students.
Mountain View Whisman School District
Restore Integrity to Mountain View Whisman
I’m running for school board to bring a parent’s perspective, technical experience, and a focus on transparent, responsible district governance.
Why I’m Running
A school district should work for the families it serves.
I first became involved in our district as a classroom volunteer and room parent, giving me a firsthand look at the experiences of students, teachers, and families.
That involvement led me to take a closer look at the district’s finances, operations, and decision-making. Our district faces significant financial challenges, while parents continue to have questions about technology, instructional priorities, student opportunities, and how major spending decisions are evaluated.
I’m running to bring a practical, questioning approach to the board: understand the numbers, listen to the community, evaluate outcomes, and keep the focus on students.
Priorities
What I’ll focus on
02
Transparency & Accountability
Listen to parents and take their concerns seriously. Keep families informed and make sure their voices are heard in district decisions.
03
Thoughtful Technology Use
Reduce unnecessary screen time while using technology where it clearly supports learning. Evaluate EdTech spending based on outcomes, not novelty.
04
PE, Health & Nutrition
Expand opportunities for physical activity and healthy habits, with quality PE and nutritious school meals.
05
Arts & Hands-On Learning
Keep a well-rounded education in view by supporting art, music, shop classes, and other practical hands-on learning opportunities for students.
06
Challenge Every Student
Students have different needs and abilities. Academic support should include appropriate challenge, enrichment, and pathways for students ready to go further.
How I Approach Decisions
Ask questions. Follow the numbers. Listen.
*What problem are we actually trying to solve?
*Are we asking the right questions and challenging our assumptions?
*What will it cost students, families, and taxpayers?
*How will we measure success?
About Quintin
Parent. Tech industry veteran. Community volunteer.
My background is in electrical engineering, information security, and systems administration, including work supporting data-center environments.
For the past several years, my focus has been my family and my children’s education. I’ve been a room parent and regular volunteer in and out of the classroom and stayed involved with our local schools.
I bring a skeptical and systems-oriented mindset to public issues: understand how something works, identify what isn’t working, and improve it.
