| “ | What are your top priorities for the district?
The top issues facing the district are student achievement and regaining healthy finances. Financial stability favorably impacts all areas within the district necessary to support student success from human resources to facilities and extracurricular activities. Furthermore, investing in the classroom supports our teachers to achieve their student goals and objectives. Why are you qualified to serve in this office? As an educator and administrator in higher education I understand what is necessary for students to be admitted to college and to be successful in college and a career. This experience has provided me insights in the areas of student-centered teaching, the holistic development of the students and faculty and staff development in relation to student support.[5] |
