| Collapse all
- Academic Success. We MUST make change to raise these grades for our students. If we keep doing what we're doing, we'll keep getting the same results.
- Fiscal stewardship of all of our resources, including the tax payer. Effective fiscal stewardship is critical for the successful operation and sustainability of our school system. It ensures that financial resources are allocated appropriately to maximize educational outcomes while maintaining transparency and accountability
- By showcasing integrity, it’s important to establish a high benchmark for behavior and decision-making within the educational system. When actions are made with integrity, they prioritize the needs and interests of students above all else. This focus ensures that resources are used efficiently, policies are centered around the students, and the overall educational experience is enhanced. The significance of integrity for me is immense; it forms the basis of trust, transparency, ethical decision-making, and educational excellence. Upholding my integrity enables me to serve my community with honor and dedication, ultimately benefiting the students and shaping the future of education.
