Bettering Our Schools

1. Ensure new developments provide community benefits for school funding

2. Create programs in partnership with Cupertino Library and local school districts to offer exciting and innovative learning opportunities for students ranging from performing arts to maker/incubator/entrepreneur training

3. Collaborate with Cupertino Library Foundation to create more community meeting spaces, including rooms for teens and civic groups serving Cupertino

“Hung Wei is an incredible leader and force in our community. I had the pleasure of being on the founding staff of Verdadera with her as the lead advisor. Verdadera is a publication that gives teenagers a forum to anonymously publish their ideas on difficult topics that young people deal with. It was a groundbreaking idea at the time, it opened up dialogue on issues many of our peers didn’t feel comfortable approaching with their family or friends. This is a shining example of the type of person Hung is: thoughtful, caring, not patronizing, and unafraid to tackle difficult issues. It’s hard to overstate how fortunate the Cupertino community would be to have her as a leader. ”
