The Endorsements

The Survey: "In their own words"

For this section, Community Forward Redlands asked each candidate the same five questions. These are their responses. Candidates were asked to keep their responses around 100 words. Responses were edited only for grammar or spelling errors. We also made candidates aware that we will make note of any statement that includes factual inaccuracies or conjecture.

We need to get back to the basics.

What do you love most about Redlands?

Small-town charm and rich heritage.

How do you define the role you’re seeking as a RUSD School Board member?

Defending childhood while preparing students for a successful future.

If elected, what would be your top 3 priorities as a RUSD School Board member?

1. Achieving academic excellence.
2. Ensuring parents are part of the educational team.
3. Protecting children from sexual assault.

What skills and experience do you have that you believe would be beneficial to you as a RUSD School Board member? 

I am a husband of 41 years and a parent of two successful adult daughters.  I have leadership experience in various areas, including school, business, church, and military (United States Marine Veteran).  I have 23 years of experience as a classroom teacher.  Bachelor's degree in history.  Bachelor's degree in political science.  Master's degree in administration.  Author of five books and several magazine articles.

If elected, what is your vision for moving our community forward?

We need to get back to the basics. We used to have the best schools in the world when we concentrated on the core academic subjects. Today, academics have become an afterthought in our public schools.  Our schools seem more concerned with indoctrinating students according to political agendas than with teaching those academic fundamentals that will prepare our children for a meaningful future. My vision is to prepare every child for the best future possible by teaching those skills that have a track record for success.

Editor's note: Hebron did not indicate specific evidence to substantiate his claims about "indoctrinating students" and "political agendas."
