Campaign themes

| “ |
What Makes a Great School Board? I will do my best to represent the community in a way that unites the school board so that we do work as a team.
I know that I am responsible for how I vote and as a school board member will do my best to always vote so that your children receive the best educational opportunities.
It is not always possible to have unified opinions, but know that I will do everything possible to present documented facts if I disagree with specific policies or topics being discussed. This is where you can help. It takes a lot of time to research topics, such as different curriculum. I will want the community to be part of specifics decisions, such as textbooks, etc. [4] |
