I’m not a politician. I’m a parent who sees firsthand the challenges and opportunities in our schools every day. I’ve worked in classrooms, alternative programs, and correctional settings. As a parent, I know what it means to want the best for our children. As a district leader, I know how to help D11 deliver on its promise to be the “premier district of choice” in the Pikes Peak region.
Outside of D11, I’m a proud member of the Colorado Air National Guard. As a member of the Engine Shop I have honed the skills and focus it takes to build and maintain jet engines. I know what it means to lead a team in crisis situations and to take your team’s life into your hands. My military service has trained me to move with a singular purpose. It has strengthened my drive to lead with Integrity and place the needs of others above my own. These are the values I will bring to the D11 School Board.- Student Safety
Every child deserves to be kept safe when they walk through D11’s doors. I will:
Advocate for enhanced security measures and emergency preparedness in every school. Support strong behavioral standards to prevent bullying and protect the school climate.
Protect the safety and privacy of our students in gender-specific sports and locker-rooms. - Academic Excellence We must raise the bar while ensuring every student has the tools to reach it. I will: Champion high academic standards and evidence-based teaching practices. Support expanded access to tutoring, advanced placement, career-tech, and enrichment programs. Advocate for early literacy, strong math instruction, and learning recovery strategies.
- Parental rights My campaign is rooted in the belief that parents are their child’s first teachers and ultimate decision-makers. Next to access to high quality instruction, parental involvement is the biggest factor in a student’s academic outcomes. I will: Champion transparent communication between schools and families. Encourage parent representation on school committees and in policy discussions. Push for more flexible, creative ways for parents to engage, through volunteerism, parent-teacher groups, and feedback channels that are heard.
My wife and I have personal experience with the benefits of D11 becoming more and more a portfolio district. Initially at a school out of district – we enrolled our students in a D11 school that was a better fit, offered a better code of conduct, and is a leading academic institution. In a world where most districts are losing enrollment year over year – D11 must lean into its identity as offering a wide variety of opportunities to meet the wide breadth of student needs.
Support strong behavioral standards to prevent bullying and protect the school climate.
Protect the safety and privacy of our students in gender-specific sports and locker-rooms.
Champion high academic standards and evidence-based teaching practices.
Support expanded access to tutoring, advanced placement, career-tech, and enrichment programs.
Advocate for early literacy, strong math instruction, and learning recovery strategies.
Champion transparent communication between schools and families.
Encourage parent representation on school committees and in policy discussions.
Push for more flexible, creative ways for parents to engage, through volunteerism, parent-teacher groups, and feedback channels that are heard.
Advocate for continued access to high quality instruction that fits the individual needs of students.
Keep dollars close to the classroom and students.
Colorado State Board of Education Member Steve Durham
Former State Senate President Bill Cadman
