| Collapse all
- Parental Rights & Transparency I believe parents are the primary stakeholders in a child’s education. I support transparency in curriculum, policies, and school decision-making, and ensuring parents have a meaningful voice without being excluded or ignored.
- Student Safety Every student deserves a safe learning environment. I support common-sense safety policies that protect students physically and emotionally, prioritize age-appropriate standards, and ensure schools remain focused on learning—not politics.
- Academic Excellence & Accountability Schools should focus on strong academics that prepare students for college, careers, or skilled trades. I support accountability in curriculum and spending, empowering teachers, and measuring success by real student outcomes.
