I firmly believe the foundation for student success begins with solid literacy, math, and science skills. While our schools continue to rank high on student achievement measures, we’ve seen a steady decline in these core areas since before the pandemic.
We can and must do better for our students, and I’m confident the hard-working teachers and staff of ISD 196 would agree. As a board member, I will advocate for the resources, policies, and support systems that will make meaningful and measurable improvement in academic performance for our schools. I’ll also work for increased parent and community involvement to ensure diverse viewpoints are represented. I look forward to partnering with parents, teachers, and staff to deliver on our district’s mission to help students reach their full potential.- IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT – I firmly believe the foundation for student success begins with solid literacy, math, and science skills. While our schools continue to rank high on student achievement measures, we’ve seen a steady decline in these core areas since before the pandemic.
- INCREASE PARENT AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT – Like many families in District 196, we moved here for the great schools. Research shows that the extent to which schools nurture positive relationships with families — and vice versa — makes all the difference in students’ achievement. If elected, I’ll work for increased parent and community involvement to ensure diverse viewpoints are represented, respected, and reflected in the district’s plans.
- INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – We’re living in a time when trust in our public institutions continues to erode, and our district is not immune. Greater transparency and increased accountability regarding decision-making, finances, curriculum, and plans for improvement are critical for building positive relationships with parents and members of our community.
My ability to build positive relationships and collaborate with others will help us, as a governing body, develop thoughtful policies and make sound decisions that deliver meaningful and measurable results for our district.

The board’s role is to set district policy, hire a new Superintendent, approve staff hiring/resignations/terminations/leaves of absence, set the annual local school levy, approves expenditures, approves curriculum and otherwise ensures that proper facilities and equipment are available to support teaching and learning in the district.
