Putting Teachers and Students First
Key Positions
Students and Teachers First
I will ALWAYS act in our children and school staff's best interest. I am proud to be a product of this district, and consider it to be one of the very best in our area. I remember the impact several of my former teachers had on me, and know how important that is for future generations. I know that individualized education is crucial to student success, and strongly support funding special education programs.
Parental Engagement
I strongly stand for parental involvement and believe strongly that parents should be informed, give express consent where needed, and are the primary decision-makers for their children. I support each parent's individual right to make these decisions.
Transparency
I believe board members should be fully transparent with the public. I believe board members should be responsive and attentive to the needs of the public. I will always explain my decisions, and pledge to respond to any public concerns.
Safety
I know how to keep our children safe. As a law enforcement officer, I responded to the December 2nd terror attack, plan large events where safety is of the utmost importance, and will use my knowledge to keep our children and staff safe. I believe our children are our most precious family members, and we must protect them. I believe a partnership with local law enforcement is the best way to keep them safe. Sadly, there are many stories of violent acts occurring at or near schools. We must be prepared for these acts and our kids' safety is of paramount importance to me.
