Groups of decision-makers cannot function properly when all other points of view are locked out of the conversation & there is no diversity of thought. There is a reason why 8 out of the 12 current school board members are not seeking re-election. These policymakers have been in charge of & overseen the decline of a once great public school system. Declining student performance, fiscal irresponsib
ility, a massive teacher exodus, school safety issues, & student merit controversies, are just the tip of the iceberg. I am committed to creating an environment where every person's voice is heard & where students not only view learning as a life-long process but are challenged to become critical thinkers & responsible constituents of society. As a family of service, I have volunteered countless hours & dedicated my life to helping others. I’ve never witnessed a time in which there was a greater need for strong, experienced, & thoughtful leadership to ensure the successful futures of our children & nation. Our American Public School System was once the envy of the world. With hard work, involvement, & dedication, it can be that way once again. From Students to Parents to Staff to School Board, we must all strive to uphold the highest standards & be responsible for our actions. The success of our children is an EVERYBODY issue. This is why I am running - we MUST do better, our CHILDREN are counting on us.
