Budget
|
"I specifically hope to assist with the budgetary problems that are challenging our district. Without a sound budget, addressing issues ranging from supporting fragile populations to adding new schools will come with prohibitive restrictions. Having the perspective of first-generation American student from a multicultural family, I want the public school system to thrive while managing the needs of the ever-changing demographics." |
