Education
As your Hillsborough County School Board member, Karen Perez is a calm and rational voice on the issues confronting our district. She holds the administration accountable for its mistakes and works diligently to ensure our limited resources make it to the classroom. She has fought uphill battles to make sure the first cuts due to budget shortfalls were at the administration level and not among our teachers and support staff.
As your Hillsborough County School Board member, Karen Perez is a calm and rational voice on the issues confronting our district. She holds the administration accountable for its mistakes and works diligently to ensure our limited resources make it to the classroom. She has fought uphill battles to make sure the first cuts due to budget shortfalls were at the administration level and not among our teachers and support staff. Karen’s fight against waste, such as overpriced software and bloating of the top executive payroll, is well known and documented. We need an advocate for our children on the Board. We need to re-elect Karen Perez.
