I am a father of 3 boys that are all in the South Jordan School System. I want parents, students and teachers voices heard whether positive or negative your voice matters. Teachers were promised more compensation through a tax increase that was imposed by South Jordan last year so I would like to see teachers get the fair compensation they were promised they are literally hero’s . I also believe in our American way of life and Utah values. I am 100% grass roots and have 0 funding from any outside party’s. My intention for running for this office is pure and with the most upmost respect for educators, staff and its students. I also believe in freedom and the right to choose liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe the pledge of allegiance needs to be said every morning to our beautiful American flag and remind our students and ourselves what being an American is all about and for what we believe in. Also I believe students need to be held more accountable for their actions whether good or bad. If you vote for me I will try extremely hard to not let you down as a educator or a parent since we should all be able to have an open dialogue with each other to make each other better as a whole and learn together as Americans. God bless America and god bless Jordan School District and its students.
- I want parents, students and teachers voices heard. Your voice matters and we want it heard weather positive or if their is something we can improve on.
- Teachers need the compensation they were promised by the school district and why the taxes were raised in the first place was for this matter.
- I want our students protected in a safe and welcoming atmosphere without fear of being bullied or harassed by their beliefs or thoughts.
Freedom, safety, open dialogue with staff and students. American and Utah values. Educators being given what they were promised.
I look up to our United States constitution and the freedom it represent for us as American citizens.
The pledge of allegiance.
Honesty, integrity, American and Utah values.
I am easy to get along with and a strong leader I am not afraid to let my voice be heard.
To protect our students and staff in a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Represent the values of the students, parents and staff.
A safer America and a more free America.
9/11 I still remember it like it was yesterday I was 20 years old.
My first job was landscaping I did that for 2 summers before I attended the University of Utah.
The total money makeover by Dave Ramsey that book changed my life.
Bad to the bone, great song and even better concert.
Raising a family is tough but I love it and learn from it everyday. I love my wife and boys so much they mean everything to me.
To have parents, staff and educators voices be heard so that the board member can vote with the majority of what your peers want.
Educators, students, staff and parents.
I will vote accordingly with what the majority of what our community represents and what they want changed if anything.
I am looking for an open dialogue, nobody is perfect I believe we can all learn together and grow together for the better of our school system and our students.
Teachers and students together need to be held accountable whether good or bad. We all learn together and if there is something that can be improved on it needs to be heard.
I would like to see expansion on American History and Mathematics. Also computer science and bring back technical hands in classes such as wood shop and auto mechanic classes so that students can learn with there hands. Life skills are important not everyone goes to college after K-12.
The funding is already in place through the tax hike from last year now it just needs to be guided and put into place effectively.
I am pro school safety for staff and students. I would love to see a police officer in every school during school hours.
Mental health is important I feel like everyone should be included and free from being harassed or bullied for their beliefs.
School safety, freedom to choose, teacher compensation, accountability for students and educators. I want students to learn in a safe, fun environment where we can all learn together.
Students should be able to learn in a safe, respectful environment free of bully’s or harassment of any kind.
I feel like things could have been handled better I feel like kids missed out on 2 years of education because of the policies that were set into place during that time.
I would like to meet with parents on what there kids are learning in school and I believe that parents should be able to choose if they want there student learning a certain subject or not. Parents should always know what there student is learning in school. No surprises.
Well to start we need competitive salary’s and wages so that we can compete with the rest of the state. Taxes were already raised for this reason and the teachers should be paid that they deserve.
The tax payer deserves to know where there tax dollars are going towards and being spent on. The school district is 100% accountable for what they spend tax dollars on.
