| Collapse all
- My priority is holding leadership accountable by promoting transparency and using data to ensure that students are at the forefront of decision making. I will push for school site autonomy, equitable outputs, and proven practices, while being the voice of the people.
- I will strengthen community, government, and family partnerships to leverage impactful academic supports and resources as well as create career pathways that enable students to go directly into the workforce at a competitive salary.
- I am committed to creating a culture that values and incentivize talent by creating effective support structures and rewarding.
To be prepared for 21st century jobs, all students should have access to opportunities to learn firsthand how their academic work applies to potential career paths. “Programs that allow for this exposure and provide students with a tangible outcome—such as college credit or professional certification—should be available in every district.”
