| Collapse all
- We're in unprecedented times. It's important to have a variety of background on the board to ensure we're best serving our students. I'm working to bring a unique perspective to the board to represent our community.
- Our students need an advocate. Someone who will work in their best interests and with for the students who cannot fight for themselves.
- We need to support our people. Our staff is what makes our district great - without them we're just a building. Supporting our certified and classified staff is critical.
PUTTING STUDENTS FIRST
Every decision that we make needs to have one goal in mind: the success of our students. If we approach every situation acknowledging and mindful of that fact, then we can be confident that we are working in their best interests.
COLLEGE, CAREER, COMMUNITY READY
When our students reach the end of their K-12 education, they should be confident in their next move. Whether it be going to college, trade school, or jumping into a career, we should be preparing them to enter life motivated and prepared.
CLOSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
After the last two years - we have seen firsthand how technology and education are integrated. It was easy for students to get left behind before, now we need to ensure that doesn't ever happen again.
