Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<p><strong>Both of Deepti's daughters chose James Logan. One graduated and studies math at Berkeley. One is a senior at Logan this year.</strong> She values campus safety and strives to create a school district where parents can send their kids to school with peace of mind and students, teachers, and faculty feel secure on campus. On School Board, Deepti will finish the job on the safety systems the district already funded, so they fulfill their purpose and protect our schools.</p>

<h2>Campus Safety</h2>

<p style="text-align: left;">New Haven is a well-run district. Here's what Deepti sees in its books, and what she'll be watching as a trustee.</p>

New Haven is a well-run district. Here's what Deepti sees in its books, and what she'll be watching as a trustee.

Deepti Garg for NHUSD Trustee: Budget and Fiscal Responsibility

<p><strong>Deepti has an extensive professional background in financial strategy and managing multimillion-dollar budgets. </strong>On School Board, every budgetary decision she makes will be to protect the district's 3% reserve, put our schools first, and ensure that the district is held accountable to the public.</p><p>Deepti will push for transparency in how the district spends taxpayer dollars and work to publish Measure N’s $272 million spending on a project-by-project public dashboard.</p>

<h2>Budget and Fiscal Responsibility</h2>

<p><strong>Deepti knows that stronger schools build stronger neighborhoods, protect our tax dollars, and increase property values. </strong>On School Board, she's going to make sure our district is investing in the right resources and programs to strengthen our schools, keep competitive teacher salaries, and boost the curriculum at every campus. She also supports responsibly limiting class sizes to ensure our students have the best quality education possible.</p>

<h2>Stronger Schools</h2>

<p><strong>Every student deserves the opportunity to thrive at NHUSD.</strong> Deepti believes that our public schools should continue to expand academic opportunity and invest in the long-term success of our students. That's why she supports measures to keep and recruit excellent teachers, increase academic programming, and push for a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum at all of our schools.</p>

<h2>Academic Opportunity</h2>

<p>As a longtime leader in the New Haven Unified community, Deepti understands the issues that our community cares about. <strong>She will fight to make our district more transparent by publishing class sizes of every school, every grade and every subject, every year. </strong>Further, Deepti will work to implement financial transparency by publishing district spending to the public and fighting against irresponsible use of district resources.</p>

<h2>Transparency</h2>
