Issues
As a candidate for school board trustee, I am committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our schools are the foundation of our community, and it’s our responsibility to make sure they are places where academic excellence, responsible financial management, and equitable opportunities for all students are prioritized.
1. Transparency & Communication:
Our schools and school board need to reflect our community. Transparency and communication are essential to building trust, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that the voices of students, parents, teachers, and community members are heard and valued. Together, we can make informed decisions that reflect the needs and concerns of the community while ensuring accountability
2. Improving Academic Performance:
I believe that every student deserves access to a high-quality education that nurtures critical thinking and prepares them for the future. To do this, I will work tirelessly to implement evidence-based strategies that enhance academic achievement, empower teachers with the resources they need, and ensure all students have the tools to reach their full potential.
3. Fiscal Responsibility:
Our schools must be financially sound to provide the best education possible. I will advocate for transparent budgeting processes, prioritize spending on programs that directly impact student learning, and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and effectively. Responsible stewardship of our financial resources is essential to building and maintaining a strong educational system.
4. Equity for All Students:
Equity in education means that every student has the support they need to thrive. I am committed to identifying and addressing disparities within our schools, ensuring that resources are distributed fairly, and that all students, regardless of their race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or learning abilities have the opportunity to succeed. I will work to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered.
Together, we can build a school system that not only meets but exceeds the needs of our students, preparing them for a bright and successful future. I ask for your support to make this vision a reality.
