ON THE ISSUES

Priorities

I have heard the concerns of my friends, neighbors, fellow parents, and believe that we can work together to address them via what I call a holistic or Comprehensive Education Model focused on: SAFETY, QUALITY EDUCATION, and TRANSPARENCY.

    • Ensure Safe Places and Spaces for students and teachers.

    • Strengthen Mental Health support and promotion of existing programs for students and teachers.

    • Continue to address substance abuse and addiction through identification, countering stigma, and support, as well as education on substance abuse.

    • Increase and Strengthen Community partnerships with county service providers and other organizations as needed.

    • Academic rigor - Ensure that every child is getting the best education and is challenged in ways that encourage learning, confidence, and creativity.

    • A focus on outcomes and any disparities that may still exist that keep us from achieving the best outcomes for all schools.

    • Explore public/private professional training partnerships that can encourage higher High School attendance and improved outcomes.

    • Clarity of purpose in everything we do - start with the end goal in mind.

    • Transparency and clarity of policies (explain them, digest them in understandable terms).

    • Evaluate current communication tools and explore additional methods for effective and accessible community input and feedback.

    • Help increase School Board presence in the community.
