Dr. William L. Casto Jr., 58, has announced his candidacy for a position on the Ann Arbor Board of Education in the June 10 election. In his statement, he says the following "imperatives are essential to the successful accomplishments of the schools' mission: "The schools must provide children and youth with a sense of community and a comprehension of the World of Work. "The schools must provide an effective career development program and open its door to career opportunities, either directly to careers that provide satisfying work or to additional schooling leading to careers. "The schools must be held accountable for their product; they should be judged in terms of their outputs. "The success of schools requires increased participation in decisión making by their patrons from among all socio-economic groups. "Success in the education of all children requires the development of total ' tional systems which bring together competent teachers, effective instructional technology, and curriculum materials that are relevent to the interests and needs of the totalities of each student. "What is suggested here is a strategy that offers a better education for all youth. One that allows for democratie decisión making, creates a link with the future, provides gratification for all and puts meaning into the educational experience for all children and youth regardless of neighborhood, socio-economic back■ ground or learning style."
