- Safety Providing safe environments for teachers, staff, and students is paramount. This includes campus police, communication, and education for parents and staff.
- Education I firmly believe that strong communities build strong youth. Our youth are the key to a successful future for not only Laveen but our entire country. By leveraging technology, building and maintaining a high quality curriculum, we can ensure our students have the necessary tools to achieve their dreams. With signature programs at each of the Laveen Elementary Schools, every child has a place in the community to express their interests and explore their talents. Recruiting and retaining top talent in our schools and support staff is critical to the mission of LESD.
- Fiscal Responsibility Implementing sound financial management practices to maintain balanced budgets is essential. I am committed to creating bright futures for our students with the funding provided. I will work with the state to ensure that kindergarten is free for all students and meals are provided to all students.
2. Strong Schools, Bright Futures
Even if you don't have children in our elementary schools, they are a vital part of our neighborhoods and have a lasting impact on our community. The success of our schools contributes to the overall wellbeing and growth of Laveen, shaping the future for our area.
