Reyes listed the following visions on her campaign website:
| “ |
HEALTH AND SAFETY I will elevate the urgency on behavioral health, response to intervention and safety of our schools. Violence and trauma in our schools can impact the overall health and morale of our teachers, staff, and students. Violence prevention and intervention have been my primary responsibility as Deputy Mayor to Public Safety. I have established strong connections with our faith community, residents, organizations and Dane County is working to reduce violence in our community. I have established partnerships on a national level in establishing best practices on reducing violence in our community. I have worked with Public Health to understand the root causes of violence and will bring these experiences to MMSD. REDUCING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP I will continue to work with the Madison School District and community to reduce the achievement gap of our black and latino youth by ensuring that we allow for supplemental instruction in small group settings and support community schools that allow parents and community to actively participate in closing the achievement gap. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Enhance the focus on workforce readiness through collaboration with higher education institutions i.e. Madison College and organizations such as the Urban League, Latino Academy and Big Step and other industries, particularly those that pay living wages like the skilled trades and University of Wisconsin STEM fields, is also critical in providing our students pathways and options after graduation. INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY IN OUR SCHOOLS I will work to support our teachers with the ability to bring in innovation and creativity into the classroom. Redefining what education could look like using the creativity of teachers and students.[5][6] |
