Why are you running for the school board?
To ensure every senior graduate with a viable skill…this is why I support expanding vocational and technical training
What makes you a good candidate for the board?
I am a Navy veteran, a father of two, been married for 32 years and I believe strongly in community service. Over the last 17 years I have been involved in many community events through my church and other nonprofit initiatives.
Please name a public leader you admire and explain why
Nelson Mandela; because he saw a need for change and was willing to sacrifice his own comforts to ensure all South Africans was treated with the dignity and respect due to everyone in South Africa and around the world.
What is the most important issue facing your school board, and what would you do about it if elected?
I believe one of the biggest issues facing our school board is lack of parental involvement.
Should I be elected, I would reach out to faith base leaders, nonprofit organizations to help connect with more parents, also I would host more events within each community.
How concerned are you about school safety, and what if anything should be done to improve it?
I am very concerned about school safety. I would work with our sheriffs department to develop a more comprehensive plan. A plan that examines what we currently have in place, what’s not working and see what works best in other districts.
Do you have any concerns about the way history is taught in your district’s schools, and if so, what are they?
I strongly believe we should have a comprehensive, very detailed teaching of history. Give teachers the ability to teach without restrictions.
Do you think there are circumstances when books should be removed from school libraries, and if so, what kind of books should be removed?
Schools are a place of learning even when topic might be uncomfortable. a place where students can investigate topics even opposing viewpoints should be allowed. So my answer is no.
