Campaign themes
2014
Rallings highlighted the following issues on her campaign website:
| “ | Sustainable Energy If elected, I will pursue the unique opportunity we have to equip our District facilities with sustainable energy. Solar panels and plug in vehicles are not only better for the environment but are also ways to take one-time money and turn it into ongoing savings. Since energy prices continue to rise and school district budgets are often volatile it only makes sense to invest in sustainable energy for a more sustainable budget.[7] |
