Campaign themes
2017
Partin highlighted the following issues on her campaign website:
| “ | I am running for three distinct reasons
1. Ensuring the safety and security of students and faculty In these trying times, the safety of students and staff is a paramount concern. I will work closely with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and school personnel to review our existing safety plans and make improvements so that the school system is prepared for 21st century threats. Montgomery County students currently receive a high quality education through the school system. In order to build upon this success and to meet higher standards, the school board must actively seek out the best education professionals to teach our kids. Furthermore, the school system must foster a positive learning and working environment so that the existing teachers will continue to live and work in our community. As a conservative, I believe that government must spend within its means. This belief applies to all levels and facets of the public sector including our schools. As a school board member, I will stick to my principles and fight for a lean, effective budget with the help of the Board of Supervisors.[4] |
