“All of Pueblo’s children should have access to high quality educational opportunities. I want to ensure that Pueblo City Schools is creating these kinds of opportunities for all students. Patty believes in the potential of Pueblo because of her first-hand experience with families and children as a teacher, youth development professional and higher education administrator. She recognizes that our local schools face many challenges, which need to be addressed with “creative and thoughtful leadership, a commitment to data-driven decision making, and engagement from the larger community.” |
