- Every child is entitled to a quality education which means the ability to read, write and do arithmetic at grade level. Our educational system is designed to achieve those goals. My educational background and experience can help meet those objectives. I hold a B.S. in Education; a Master's in Research; a Ph.D. in Social Psychology; an M.B.A; and a Juris Doctorate. I am a lifelong learner and hope to inspire others to be the same.
- We must secure the necessary funding to achieve the existing strategic plan. If that means funds need to be allocated from the Permanent Fund, then so be it.
- We must retain quality teachers and staff; provide various student opportunities; and promote student well being. We must make sure our schools are safe for students from outside influences.
