Campaign themes
2014
Trible listed her themes for the 2014 race on her campaign website:
| “ | Achievement and accountability will be my guiding principles on the Board of Education. Accountability is a continuous thread that starts with the Board of Education being attentive and responsive to the needs of all families in Montgomery County. It includes holding our Superintendent and, by extension, school leadership accountable for the instruction occurring each day. A cultural shift must occur in the classroom as our teachers grapple with new curriculum, new technology, and increasingly diverse needs. I will strongly support the work to identify the needs of our students as well as the resources for teachers to be both skilled and flexible enough to provide the instruction our students require. It is critically important that we maintain and improve our efforts to prepare all students, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or where they live in our county. “Raise the bar and close the gap” is not a convenient sound bite, but an imperative for our schools in order to ensure all students receive a top notch education.[4] | ” |
