Campaign themes
2013
In an interview with The Gazette, Humbles noted that her highest priority on the board is improving district facilities. She supports a levy increase also on the ballot in September that would be devoted to facilities improvements. “I know there’s improvements that need to be made because we want our schools to be safe for our children and for our staff. That will be a huge concern,” said Humbles after filing her nominating petitions. Another campaign theme for Humbles is improving student performance throughout the district. "That is one of my priorities and I know when I ran last time, that was a priority: closing the achievement gap and figuring out the best way to do that so all of our children have an equal chance,” noted Humbles.[11]
