Three candidates are running in Subdistrict C, which includes Mission Bay, Point Loma, La Jolla and University High Schools.
“My absolute number one priority is restoring and permanently keeping honors courses and traditional grading,” said Becca Williams."They did not reopen soon enough at all; they could have done it, but there was no plan. That’s where I’m more upset than anything else, there was no plan. I think they had just shut down and didn’t want to deal with it,” said Higman.
"I really think that was mismanaged. The schools were closed for a very long time, longer than any school district I’m aware of, “ said Williams.“I like the idea of ethnic studies, but I think we need to make sure it’s age-appropriate. I want it to be integrated with our social studies and our history classes. I don’t need it to be a separate class on its own,” said Higman.
“You could have an ethnic studies program that doesn’t alienate people because it’s driven by bad philosophy in my opinion,” said Williams. “I believe there’s a philosophy driving ethnic studies that sees the entire world and reality through the lens of race." “I’ve been in this district for 11 years fighting day after day for our students and the education of our students,” said Higman. “I’ve been here longer than three of the board members, so I want to get in there and make some real changes to benefit our students."
