Campaign website

Whittle’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Priorities Learn what drives the decisions I’ll make as your next Seat 8 at-large member of the APS Board of Education Measuring What’s Measurable When it comes to fostering equity in our schools, that has become more of a buzzword than anything else, but to truly pursue equitable policy means taking stock of what the needs are in every district and every school and understanding the metrics that appropriately track progress toward the goal of improved outcomes for the Scholars in every District and every School. Support Scholars & Families Many of the problems facing our young scholars are deeply ingrained in families and communities, and if we have a real commitment to uplifting Every District, Every School, and Every Scholar, that means we will have to understand those needs and provide the services to help alleviate them – whether those services be for mental health, developmental roadblocks, or any of a whole host of reasons why scholars and their families need help. Wraparound services are there to help them and, ultimately, the entire system. High quality Scholarship The standards that the Board of Education puts in place are the guidepost for everything that happens in the school system, and that means if we hold low standards for our districts and schools, there will be no incentive to perform for principals, educators, and scholars. We should have high standards in APS, and those standards mark the path toward improved outcomes	”
