The Redding Chamber of Commerce is proud of our commitment to bring you trusted and current information on candidates in local elections. Over the next few weeks, we will be releasing videos of our recent candidate forums, a series of video interviews asking questions from a business perspective, and additional campaign information highlighting other local races of importance as they relate to business. The first of these is the race for Shasta County Superintendent of schools.
Recent surveys have told us that workforce development and access to childcare are important issues to the business community. The Superintendent of Schools will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with county organizations to address these challenges. We encourage you to examine the website of the candidates and listen to their interviews with the Chamber and others, to make an informed voting decision.
Bryan Caples Candidate Statement:
I’ve been an educator for over 30 years and have had the privilege of serving students as an instructional aide, teacher, principal, and school district superintendent. Throughout my tenure as an educator, I have seen firsthand how the state of California has overreached its authority by implementing programs and policies that do not meet the needs of our communities or children. I believe parent input should be a priority in the education of their children. Simply put, the current, “one size fits all” public education in Shasta County doesn’t work. As Shasta County Superintendent, I will ensure equal access to educational services for all students regardless of background, creed, or disability. This will be accomplished by empowering school districts to eliminate testing and vaccine mandates, establishing local control of our schools, expanding trade school and career technical education training opportunities, providing a positive, safe, and secure learning environment for all students and staff, and always putting the needs of our students first! As your elected Superintendent, I will be a strong, conservative voice for students, parents, teachers, and citizens of Shasta County! Vote Bryan Caples for Shasta County Superintendent of Schools.
