Government experience: School board member for 12 years. I served as vice president and am currently president of the board. What do you think are the key issues facing the community? Student success. It is about the children while being fiscally responsible to the Kaukauna taxpayer. Our students deserve as much as we can give them while keeping the taxpayer in mind. School safety is ever-present and we are doing more all the time. To keep buildings up to date with technology and offer our students as much as we can to keep them on track; make their education a top priority as they move on from Kaukauna. To continue to follow our goals of improving culture and climate, student success and being fiscally responsible. What do you hope to accomplish, if elected?
