As of Oct. 15, only four candidates of the seven running for seats on Los Gatos' two downtown school-district boards had filed financial information documents with the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.
Gail Schwartz, running in the Los Gatos Union School District race, had received a little more than $1,500 as of last week. She received $466 worth of contributions that were all less than $100. Four individuals donated $100 each, including LGUSD board member Steve Glickman. One individual provided a $500 loan, and another provided $200 worth of goods or services. The registrar did not have forms from Dorothy Rouse or Stephen Parsons.
In the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District race, Cassandra Huston had not yet raised more than $1,000 as of last week, and therefore was not required to file a report. Jackie Schmidt-Posner had raised enough to file a report, although the registrar did not yet have any itemized documents listing contributions and contributors. The registrar also had not received forms from Lorrie Wernick.
Lynne Bauer, a candidate for the high-school district, raised $1,300, consisting of several contributions of less than $100 each, $800 in monetary contributions and $500 worth of goods or services. Among Bauer's contributions was $100 from Los Gatos High School Principal Ted Simonson and $500 from the District Teachers' Association.
