Campaign themes
2014
Gleason published the following candidate statement on her campaign website:
| “ | I will encourage transparency among the board, the district and the public. I will reignite the collaboration between the elementary schools, high schools and college districts. I guarantee my decisions will be fiscally conservative, responsible, and student focused. I believe our students need consistency in their education. Our districts must better work together to ensure that our students have uninterrupted learning, the highest level of quality instruction available to them and access to technology which prepares them for the 21st century workplace. This requires the high school district to collaborate with the elementary and college districts to provide our students with consistent, competitive and challenging instruction. We must promote qualified teachers that engage students in their education and success. |
