| “ | odd question but here it goes... I have never had a "awkward" date that really comes to mind. I have been very fortunate to of find my love early in life at the age of 20 and since then our dates have been great as it means we are out of the house.[3] | ” |

| “ | Playing a vital role in advancing the success of our students, trustees are the voice for his/her community at a district level. To do this well, trustees need to ask, listen, and learn what the community is saying so that responsible and informed choices can be made. A trustee does not have to agree with everything, but he/she does need to understand everything to effectively arrive at viable solutions.[3] | ” |

| “ | The PTA is a huge part in getting in front of the parents. Attending as many PTA functions as well as District functions gets me in touch with parents that are able to be involved. To get in touch with parents that do not have the ability to be as involved I will be reaching out via District advertising with contact information.[3] | ” |
| “ | Funding is the main issue as we have been voicing our opinion as a State about the lack of funding for years. Other issues are the changes in curriculum and grading techniques i feel take away from the "simpler" approaches to teaching.[3] | ” |
| “ | Engagement with the students is extremely important when wanting to maximize teaching time. This can be helped with working technology in the hands of the students.[3] | ” |
