- Working for equity. Our public schools represent our best collective opportunity to impact the lives of our children and youth. My expectations for the education of my four children are no more or less than what I expect for the 70,000 in Guilford County Schools. GCS has made strides toward equity, particularly in narrowing the graduation gap between Black students and white students. We must continue to build on this and work for the success of all of our students.
- Valuing teachers. Our GCS professional educators should be trusted, empowered and supported to ensure their longevity and thriving in our system, as well as the continued growth of our students. I will advocate for teachers at every turn, particularly working to promote public trust in a time of intensifying political strategies that undermine our educators and ultimately erode public trust in our schools. Part of this includes promoting continued partnership between teachers and parents. GCS has long demonstrated an ability to build effective partnership between educators, students and parents/caregivers, and I will continue to encourage these healthy relationships.
- Improving Facilities. With the approval of the recent SMART bond, GCS has a tremendous opportunity to provide new and renovated environments for our students and educators. With effective oversight, we can continue to move GCS forward with safe, modern, accessible, renovated and tech-ready schools, matching in our physical structures what is happening through the excellent work of our educators and students.
