Campaign themes

2018

Leader-Telegram survey

Nordin participated in the following survey conducted by the Leader-Telegram. The questions provided by the Leader-Telegram are bolded, and Nordin's responses follow below:

“	The school district currently has Montessori and McKinley charter schools and is considering a new one at the Little Red School site. What role do you see for charter schools in the district going forward? The district’s mission is “To inspire and prepare our students to live creative, fulfilling, and responsible lives.” Achieving this includes providing multiple, personalized avenues of study, including our in-school innovation zones and our charter school options. When and if charter programs provide the best fit for improved learning in a fiscally responsible and sustainable way, the district should carefully consider that choice. The district recently altered boundary lines between North and Memorial high schools in order to address an enrollment disparity. Do you think other measures need to be taken to address inequity between the schools? If so, what would you propose? Increasing educational equity across the district is one of the primary goals I have for the board, including issues regarding socioeconomic standing, racial/​cultural diversity, and special educational needs. The board must continue its efforts to identify areas where students need additional support and work to provide them. One area ... is the demographic data of students applying to choice programs within the district; ensuring that a representative section of our students are accessing our innovative programming and understanding how to best serve the needs of all students. How is the district dealing with trends and changes that affect how education is delivered, as well as societal issues such as mental health and children living in poverty? The district is actively seeking out ways to engage with modern teaching methods such as project-based learning and social-emotional growth, particularly in the work of innovation zones in our schools. We must continue to engage our teachers, administrators, and access outside resources to continually improve pedagogy. In terms of societal issues, we must tirelessly partner with service providers across the region to support children and families dealing with struggles. We need to evaluate how to improve our mental health support in schools, including advocating for increased funding at the state and federal level for mental health and social workers in schools.	”
