I am a mom of 3 with a background in Accounting hoping to improve district communication and financial sustainability

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?

• Improved Communication
• Financial sustainability
• Anti-Bullying

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I have a special interest in school funding in Ohio. It is very complex and I am hoping to be an asset in improving district communication regarding how funding works at the state level, how levies are structured, and how that effects our school district.

I also feel strongly about all students having access to all the tools they need for the best education possible in a safe and welcoming environment.

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

Good listening skills and the ability to compromise and cooperate in difficult situations.

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

School board members are community advocates to the Superintendent. They help craft the vision and direction of the school district, hold publicly accessible meetings, and welcome comments from the public. Serving on a school board is a public service, working to unite the community and school district, and represent the best interests of the district as a whole to help the district grow and succeed.

Who are your constituents?

Parents and community members

What strategies or plans would you advance to ensure the schools are properly funded?

Continue to advocate to state lawmakers to make state funding more equitable. Currently Beavercreek receives the least possible school funding from the state putting most of the funding burden on the local community. Explore the feasibility of a school income tax, which would reduce some of the burden on retired homeowners, and work to convert some of the school levies from renewable to permanent to capture additional revenue from continued district growth without increasing the burden on existing homeowners, and reduce voter fatigue.

What existing district policies would you like to change, or what new policies would you like to implement?

I would like the see the school district improve their communication and district website to make it easier for parents and the community to find information in one easy to access, streamlined location.

Describe your ideal learning environment for students.

All students deserve the least restrictive, most affirming environment to thrive and reach their greatest potential.
