<p>Los Angeles&mdash;Following endorsements from all four of California’s major newspapers, the Marshall Tuck for State Superintendent of Public Instruction campaign announced this morning that Tuck has raised more than $1 million in just nine months. The financial news is the latest milestone in what is shaping up to be one of the most contested races on the ballot, indicating that Tuck is within fundraising reach of incumbent and 30-year politician Tom Torlakson, who has be campaigning since early 2013.</p><p>The funds Tuck has so far raised are notable because more than 95 percent of his contributions come from individuals around the state, rather than Sacramento special interests. By contrast, more than 50 percent of incumbent Torlakson’s dollars raised come from political insiders, PACs and corporations. </p><p>In addition to the fundraising success, the Tuck campaign released its first online ad this morning. It mirrors radio ads already running statewide and underscores the failure of California public schools and the need for major change if the state is going to deliver on its promise to provide a quality education to every child.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IES883em0Rw">Watch the ad.</a></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>
