Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have 29 years of experience working in public education as a teacher (classroom, ESL, and Reading Recovery), literacy coach, K-12 ESL Coordinator, and educational consultant. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Oklahoma State University and my Master of Education from the University of Houston. My husband and I have one daughter who attends a district school.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I believe all children have an amazing capacity to learn and we must ensure each child has access to relevant, meaningful, learner-centered instruction and assessments at the appropriate level of challenge. Each child must be part of a learning community where they feel valued, feel they belong and where they feel safe.
• I think it is vital to seek and utilize stakeholder input. Hearing the voices of students, parents and teachers is the first step in moving toward program improvement. In addition, providing stakeholders clear, timely and transparent communication empowers community members and staff to become more valuable partners in educating our children.
• Children are provided services through a variety of programs to meet their educational needs. It is important to ensure programs such as bilingual, ESL, dyslexia, special education and/or gifted/talented are regularly reviewed through high-quality evaluation methods to determine if these programs are effectively meeting instructional goals and meeting student needs. It is important that results are shared publicly in a timely, comprehensible and transparent way to ensure stakeholders are aware of program successes and program challenges.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe local school districts have an obligation to make sure written policy and procedures are implemented across the district at each campus. Uneven implementation, or lack of implementation, creates barriers in equitable opportunities for children to learn. For student success, district leadership must effectively communicate expectations to its staff members and provide them with the resources and training needed to meet policy expectations. It is so important that policies dealing with 21st Century Learning, graduate profiles, special programs, programs of choice, program evaluation, and school safety are met with a high degree of support and oversight to ensure all children have the opportunity to engage in safe school environments that produce graduates who are able to: 1)think critically and creatively, 2)communicate competently in face to face settings and within a digital world, 3)use traditional and digital literacy skills for life-long self-improvement, and 4) work collaboratively to solve problems in a global society.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

What is the primary job of a school board member in your view?

I believe the most important job of a school board member is to build public trust among all stakeholders. I believe this is accomplished by: 1)soliciting input from students, parents, teachers and community members, 2)using stakeholder input for program improvement, 3)fulfilling a moral and ethical obligation to represent constituents in a way that respects their voice and, 4)engaging transparently with school administration to make the best decisions possible on behalf of students, staff and the community.
