Positions on the issues

The candidate was asked to answer 10 questions from Ballotpedia regarding significant issues in education and the school district. The questions are in the left column and the candidate's responses are in the right column of the following table:

Question Response
What is your stance on implementing Common Core standards?
They should be implemented.
Should your district approve the creation of new charter schools?
No
Should the state give money to private schools through a voucher system?
No
Are standardized tests an accurate metric of student achievement?
No one assessement is an accurate metric of student achievement
How can the district ensure equal opportunities for high and low achieving students?
Districts must have a response to intervention (RTI) system in place in all schools. Regular classroom instruction should work for about 80% of students. Different instruction techniques are needed for the remaining 20%. Additional classes, different teaching practices and cultural awareness all play a big part in effectively reaching this 20%.Districts must have a philosophy and framework for this instruction, and be accountable to install it in all schools.
How should expulsion be used in the district?
Expulsion should be used for serious offenses to ensure the safety of other students as well as the integrity of education at district schools.
If a school is failing in your district, what steps should the school board take to help the students in that school?
School boards must be sure that "best teaching practices" are utilized in under performing schools. These teaching practices must take into account all of the unique characteristics of the student body, and be thorough in addressing the needs found there.
Do you support merit pay for teachers?
No
How should the district handle underperforming teachers?
Put underperforming teachers on a probationary period while they seek to improve.
How would you work to improve community-school board relations?
School boards must operate in open and transparent ways. Steps must be taken to solicit feedback from the community on the performance of the school district. The community should be able to see positive district/board response to challenges noted in the communication feedback loop.
