I am a man who intends to stand strong in my commitment to the betterment of policy regarding safety and security of not only specific populations of the student body, but by working together with members of this community, create and/or improve policies to ensure that ALL of our children are safe, feel safe, secure, loved, educated and heard in a fair and reasonable manner.
