• Delaine_Eastin abstract "Delaine Eastin (born August 20, 1947) is an American politician. She served as the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1995 to 2003. A native Californian, Eastin received her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis, and her master's degree in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. After teaching political science and women's studies for seven years, Eastin served as a corporate manager for Pacific Telesis Group, a position she held until her election to the State Assembly. Eastin now lives in Davis. Prior to her election as State Superintendent, Eastin served four terms in the State Assembly representing parts of Alameda and Santa Clara counties, and chaired the Assembly Committee on Education. She is a member of the Democratic Party. Eastin was unable to run for a third term in 2002 due to term limits and was succeeded by former State Senator Jack O'Connell.On November 8, 1994, Eastin was elected to a four-year term as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, becoming the highest-ranking official in California's elementary and secondary public school system and the first woman to be elected State Superintendent.Upon taking office, Eastin made class size reduction her top priority. Her advocacy persuaded the Governor and the legislature to invest $2.5 billion in cutting class sizes. Today, K–3 class sizes have been cut from 30 to 20 students in over 86,000 classrooms in 98% of all school districts.In response to declining student performance, State Superintendent Eastin led the adoption of high statewide academic standards in reading and math. High standards in science and social studies are currently being adopted. Eastin also implemented a new statewide test and established a new system to increase the accountability of every school and district in the state.In the fall of 1995, Superintendent Eastin launched the "Challenge Initiative", a groundbreaking reform effort to raise standards and accountability. Fifty-six school districts, covering nearly 500,000 students, embraced the Challenge and agreed to set high standards for every subject area in all grade levels.During her first term, Eastin cut administrative waste by streamlining contracting procedures in the Department of Education and by standardizing accounting procedures. She also established the California Education Technology Task Force to craft a statewide plan to increase student access to technology in the classroom [1].".
