<p>LOS ANGELES – The Marshall Tuck for State Superintendent of Public Instruction campaign released its latest ad this morning. The new ad, “Drowning,” which will run in markets across the state, focuses on Tuck’s plan to fix California schools through more parent involvement and less Sacramento bureaucracy. It comes on the heels of endorsements from the <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>, <em>Fresno Bee</em>, and the <em>Sacramento Bee</em>, and it arrives just as voters begin to receive absentee ballots, which were mailed earlier this week.</p><p>The campaign’s first ad, “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NMLjWqXoA">Dear Voters</a>,”&nbsp;will continue to run.</p><p>Listen to the new ad: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61IKHTbrkOA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61IKHTbrkOA</a></p><p>“We’re failing our kids at a very basic level, and Sacramento politicians are drowning our schools in needless bureaucracy. It’s time for a major change,” Tuck said. “We must enable local decision-making, foster better parent engagement, ensure that we have strong principals and effective teachers in every school, bring our classrooms into the 21st century, and provide all students with a college- and career-ready curriculum.”</p><p>“Drowning” is the second in the campaign’s aggressivevoter-contact and paid-media program, and it marks an increase in the campaign’s radio buy. The ad continues the campaign’s focus on fixing California’s public schools and on Tuck’s track record as the only candidate with experience turning around failing schools. </p>

<h3 class="release about">About Marshall Tuck</h3>
<p>Marshall Tuck is the only candidate for State Superintendent with a proven record of increasing graduation rates, improving student achievement, and turning around failing schools.</p>
<p>Tuck served most recently as founding CEO of the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s groundbreaking collaboration with the Los Angeles Unified School District to operate 17 struggling public elementary, middle, and high schools, serving 15,000 students.</p>
<p>Under Tuck’s leadership, the Partnership schools increased four-year graduation rates by over 60%, improved school safety and student attendance, and launched the innovative Parent College, which became a national model for getting parents more involved in their kids’ education. Over the last 5 years, the Partnership schools ranked #1 in academic improvement among school systems with more than 10,000 students.</p>
<p>Prior to launching the Partnership, Tuck was President of Green Dot Public Schools, a leading charter school operator based in Los Angeles. Tuck joined Green Dot in 2002, when it had one school, and helped them expand to 10 charter high schools by 2006. With a student-centered approach that empowered principals, teachers, and parents, Green Dot schools substantially outperformed comparable schools’ graduation rates and overall academic achievement.</p>
<p>Before devoting his career to helping students, Tuck was an executive at Model N, a successful enterprise software company based in the Bay Area. Prior to that, he worked in finance, and spent a year teaching and doing service work internationally, primarily in Zimbabwe and Thailand.</p>
<p>The son of a teacher, Tuck was born in Burlingame, CA and attended parochial elementary school and public middle and high schools. He graduated from UCLA and Harvard Business School. Tuck currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Mae, and their son Mason.</p>
