Three challenges facing the district: 1. Accreditation of our schools and achievement of our students. 2. Property tax revenue is down. 3. Proposition I, a no-tax-increase bond issue to upgrade, renovate buildings for security of staff and students including technology STEAM learning center. Why are you qualified to serve in this office? I'm qualified to serve in this office because my 19 years of banking and political experience will be a great asset as director of the Ferguson-Florissant Board of Education.
