How would you support the diverse needs of your district’s students, faculty, staff, and community?

A 21st Century high school diploma should reflect the hard work a student has put in and also the hard work the school district has conducted to provide the student the necessary educational foundation to be successful.
What strategies or plans would you advance to ensure the schools are properly funded?
Communication is key. School Administrator, superintendents, and school board trustees should have an open door policy and should communicate frequently to ensure that all their needs are being met.
What principles drive your policies for safety in schools?
Having 2 children currently in the school district and 1 child that will attend in the near future school security is extremely important to me. I will work together with our local police departments and our security team to make safety and security a top priority.
How might you support the mental health needs of students/faculty/staff?
Mental Health for both our students and faculty is very important. I will work along with school counselors and the Texas Education Agency to ensure that our students and faculty have the necessary mental health resources and continuing training.
What role do you imagine technology playing in (and outside) the classroom in the future? How would you prepare the district for this?
Technology plays a pivotal role inside and outside schools. School districts must continue to keep up with advancements in technology to provide a better quality education.
