Priorities

Safety

I am committed to ensuring our schools are safe, nurturing environments where every student can thrive. School safety is a multifaceted issue that requires comprehensive, proactive, and sustained efforts.

I will advocate for policies and programs that improve the quality of education, ensuring that all students have access to high-quality learning experiences.

I will promote initiatives that support teachers and school staff, including professional development, fair compensation, and creating a positive work environment.

Community

Foster and maintain strong partnerships between schools, families, and the broader community, ensuring a supportive environment that promotes academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement for all students.

I will work to foster strong relationships between the school board, parents, students, and the broader community. Encourage community involvement and transparent communication.

I will work to ensure that all students have equal opportunities and resources to succeed, regardless of their background and address issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the school district.

I will work to ensure that the school district’s budget is managed effectively, prioritizing spending that directly impacts student learning and well-being.

You can only provide the right conditions for learning to happen.”

Mental Health

Mental health is a critical component of student success and well-being. As a school board candidate, I recognize the importance of addressing mental health issues proactively and compassionately. I am dedicated to helping create a supportive, inclusive, and responsive educational environment that prioritizes the mental health and emotional well-being of all students, staff, and families.

I will advocate for comprehensive mental health support for students and staff, recognizing the importance of emotional and psychological well-being in the educational environment.
