Why would you like to serve on the ICOC?

As a parent of a 7th grader and a 5th grader I have a vested interest in the success of the SDUHSD.

Making fiscally responsible decisions for the benefit of the schools and students is of upmost

a solid education in a safe environment.

Mrs. Cristina Rolle

DNO / LCC / 8 and 11





I am a former elementary school teacher with a Masters Degree in School Counseling. That speaks to my

experience in the school system. But, I also possess a deep vested interest in our community schools and

how they are functioning. I cannot honestly say I have experience with anything involving school funds

or budgets, but I am a logical, rational, law abiding citizen who would most definitely be an asset and

contributor to this committee.


I was an elementary school teacher in Texas for 8 years before deciding to forgo a career to stay home

and raise our two children. During the years spent at home, I acquired a Masters Degree in School

Counseling, wrote two screenplays, started a business selling my own paintings, created a community

fundraiser for local troops serving in Afghanistan, volunteered in the drama dept. at La Costa Canyon,

got my real estate license, and am currently running an online website that helps people take control of

own thoughts so that they can feel happier. I hope this shows that I have no fear of rolling up my sleeves

and helping where I feel I can be of service.


I received my BA from the University of St. Thomas (Houston, TX) in 1992 & a Masters of Science in

School Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2009.


I organized and executed a community fundraiser for some local community service members serving in

Afghanistan in 2001. I also helped organize and then participated in the Olivenhain Art Show in 2013. It

was only held that one year. Also as mentioned before, I volunteered in the drama dept at LCC in the fall

of 2014 helping the teacher at that time teach the students.

TurboTax engineering department with a staff of 180 people and a budget of over $30 million dollars.

‐ I also have served on the advisory boards for several companies ranging from fast growing startups to

large technology companies.

‐ I have historical perspective on our local schools because I have children who graduated from both

Torrey Pines and CCA.

CV / CCA / 8 and 9





Carmel Valley Middle School PTSA


I have actively volunteered in the Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito High School District for

the past 10 years. As my children have become older and wiser, my presence at school sites has become

less welcome (although occasionally I will substitute teach on an emergency basis). So, I have a little

extra time on my hands.

In all seriousness, I am a strong believer in our School District and believe a source of strength is parent

commitment and positive involvement. Our community greatly benefits from Prop AA and I believe that

my professional experience and background will help insure proper expenditure and use of bond

revenues.


I retired from the practice of law in 2002. I worked in the Corporate and Securities Department of a

major San Diego Law Firm from 1985 ‐ 1989 and subsequently worked in‐house in the legal, real estate

and business departments of private and public domestic and international companies. I am well versed

in reading and understanding financial statements, compliance issues and risk and reward analysis. I

have negotiated and documented numerous securities documents and business and real estate

agreements.

I also feel that my school related volunteer activities and community involvement noted below provide a

first hand understanding of parent and community thoughts related to our school facilities.

ITEM 3


Mr. Robin Duveen

San Diego


CCA / 9


Active member of a bona fide taxpayers organization, Parent of a District student, Community at‐large


San Diego County Taxpayers Association – Business Representative Proxy

San Diego Chamber of Commerce – Member


I have been a resident of the local community for 18 years. As a taxpayer and parent of a child in San

Dieguito Union High School District, I feel a deep sense of responsibility for making sure the District has

every opportunity for success in the Proposition AA bond program. My qualifications, detailed below,

evidence my unique perspective of the District’s challenges and opportunities. I have made a career of

providing quality services to San Diego public K‐12 school districts in the implementation and

construction, project, and program management of multiple bond measures, which has resulted in an

abundance of lessons‐learned in construction and cost‐efficiencies, as well as audits. I am excited for the

opportunity to bring this knowledge to the District: by participating in the Independent Citizen’s

Oversight Committee and contributing to the District’s Proposition AA success, I also bring success to

fellow, local community taxpayers and my family.


For the past 18 years, as a member of Gafcon, Inc.’s program and construction management team, I

have contributed to multiple public K‐12 school bond programs throughout San Diego County and

Southern California. I offer the Independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee the broad perspective of a

contractor (with a keen understanding of construction means and methods), boots‐on‐the‐ground

Project Manager (working collaboratively with maintenance teams, staff, and faculty to deliver school

facilities), and a fiscally‐conscious Chief Operating Officer (working with Superintendents and presenting

bond program updates to district board members and other local oversight committees). Because of this

experience, I offer unique qualifications in the following areas:

Financial

As Chief Operating Officer of Gafcon, as well as my experience managing both program and project

budgets for local K‐12 public schools, I have a thorough understanding of budget best‐practices, as well

as California Education Code requirements, audit standards, design and construction costs, construction

delivery methods, procurement, outreach, and transparency. Some of the schools that I have aided

ITEM 3


include San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD),

Carlsbad Unified School District, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Sweetwater Union High School

District. As one example of my experience with bond funding, I was able to secure an additional $2.5

million in funding working directly with the Office of Public School Construction. Our firm, a member of

the San Diego County Taxpayer’s Association, has assisted many of the districts we work with to attain

exemplary scores in bond transparency (SDUSD, GUHSD, Grossmont‐Cuyamaca Community College

District, and San Diego Community College District all received perfect scores in transparency!). I

understand the importance and the ins‐and‐outs of working with State and local agencies. Additionally,

as a local taxpayer, I have a vested interest in my children’s learning environment.

Construction Oversight

Public school construction presents unique challenges and opportunities. My proven history as both a

project and program manager for similar facilities enables me to offer extensive experience and lessons‐

learned to maximize bond revenues by suggesting solutions like delivery methods and cost‐saving

measures. I am also experienced in monitoring bond funds to make sure they are being appropriately

allocated and spent. As a professional services consultant, I can lend my insights, as well as my

connections within the local contracting and professional services industry, to make sure the District

receives competitive bids and proposals.

I have practical, real‐world experience overseeing multi‐million‐dollar construction and development

projects. Through this experience, I offer strong acumen in cost‐reduction associated with site

preparation and site design. I will also be able to leverage my technical expertise to review architectural

renderings, project budget/schedule updates, audits, and other similar reports to ask the right

questions, ensuring the Independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee has every resource to successfully

oversee and steward precious bond funding.

Steering and Planning

A collaborative person by nature, I have worked extensively with staff and faculty at campuses

throughout San Diego County. This has provided me with an intrinsic understanding of the goals and

business practices of local, public K‐12 school agencies. I will synergize this knowledge with a

background in construction and development to make sure that the District is presented with out‐of‐

the‐box opportunities in joint‐use facilities, school site design, reusable facility plans, and deferred

maintenance plans. At one district, understanding that teamwork is key, I was able to successfully

steward the principals and keep the task‐force focused on making sure projects were appropriately

prioritized and would meet the needs of the facilities for years to come. The aspirational improvements

for facilities and programs typically exceed the funding available. I have a great deal of experience

assisting similar school districts with prioritization, resulting in maximized efficiency and bond revenue.

chose to live in the San Dieguito district because of its outstanding reputation. Now that my kids are

both older, a junior and n 8th grader, there are less options to be involved at the school level so I

thought this might be an alternative option to get involved.

I would like to assist the District, and specifically the Committee, in successfully implementing the plan

for capital improvements called for in Prop AA, which will then facilitate an improved learning

environment for our students. It is also very important to keep the promises made to voters in

exchange for their approval. As a mother of two SDA students, I am very pleased at the education they

have both received but I also know that the improvements that are underway at the school will be

extremely beneficial. I would love the opportunity to give back to the District.


I have extensive experience managing and implementing capital improvement projects, large and small,

and I would like to volunteer my skills and knowledge. I have worked in transportation planning and

program and project implementation in the public sector for 25 years. As a project manager and now a

program manager, I understand the importance of staying within budget and schedule, the need for

proper contingencies, that things don’t always go as planned with a project is in construction, and the

need for a system of checks and balances between voters, management, contractors, educators, parents

and students. Part of my position is to present project updates to our Independent Taxpayer Oversight

Committee, called for in Proposition A (2004), the half cent sales tax program in San Diego County for

transportation improvements. I also track audit findings and insure they are addressed on schedule. As

such, I see the important role the Committee plays in implementation of my agency’s program.

I am not an active member in any organization within the community served by this school district or

impacted by the bond measure, other than being a parent member of the PTO/foundation at my

childrens' schools.


I would like to serve on the ICOC because I have a vested interest in making sure my children attend the

safest, best designed, best built, and best maintained facilities possible based on the available resources.

I have been a parent to children in public schools for 12 years, and have 9 more years until my youngest

graduates high school. I want to contribute to their experience ‐ and the experience of other students,

staff, and parents ‐ in a meaningful way.


There are 4 main reasons why I feel I am qualified to serve on the ICOC.

1. I am a parent to 3 children in the Carmel Valley community, two of whom are students at district high

schools and have attended 2 middle schools.

2. I have been a licensed architect for over 20 years and have experience in all phases of planning,

budgeting, constructibility review, contract review, and design/build and other procurements.

3. I have served in the capacity as an owner's representative during my 6‐year tenure at UCSD where I

managed more than $100M in projects funded from multiple sources including state revenue bonds,

lease bonds, revenue from departments and institutions, and major benefactors.

4. I have worked on many school‐related projects in the capacity as a project manager and project

architect including preschools, elementary, middle, high schools, higher eduction, and professional

education facilities. My current responsibilities include healthcare and senior care facilities.


I attended High School in Silicon Valley. I then attended community college for 2.5 years before

transferring to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for Architecture and Construction Management. After

graduating I enrolled in the Master of Building Science program at Auburn University. Total years in

higher education is 9, including working part time continuously and a 6‐month full time internship. I've

continued my education since grad school through continuing education requirements for state

licensure and other professional certifications.

ITEM 3



I have a 25 year history of serving several communities through participation in boards, committees, and

non‐profit organizations, boards and committees for professional organizations, coaching for my

and related professions, and serving on School Site Councils for the Solana Beach School District.
