Our district faces real financial challenges. Three commitments guide every decision Eryn will make.

Education Preservation

WCSD has built a strong tradition of academic excellence and preserving that must remain a priority. As we navigate financial pressures and difficult budget decisions, we need to protect the programs, educators, and opportunities that have the greatest impact on student learning. That means evaluating tradeoffs carefully, using data to guide decisions, and ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality, well-rounded education. An education that includes academics, arts, music, and electives. Our goal should be to preserve the educational experience our students deserve and our families expect, while building a financially sustainable future.

Transparent Leadership with Students First

Our community deserves leadership that is open, accountable, and focused on what matters most: our students. I will prioritize clear communication, thoughtful decision-making, and meaningful community engagement. Every decision should start with a simple question: What is best for students? I will use data, listen to educators and families, and advocate for equitable access to high-quality learning opportunities across WCSD.

Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources

With the recent failure of the Measure L parcel tax, WCSD faces difficult financial decisions that will directly impact our students and schools, our community and WCEF will likely be asked to do even more. The reality is that California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) does not fully cover the cost of providing the high-quality education our community expects and our students deserve. I want to ensure that every budget decision is data-driven, transparent, and student-centered, protecting educational excellence and ensuring that financial constraints do not come at the expense of equitable learning opportunities for every student.
