Why are you running for the school board?
I am running for the school board to support unifying the community to achieve excellence in education. In order for students to thrive, they need the support of their families, school administrators and community to ensure there is governance transparency, fiscal accountability and a quality education.
What makes you a good candidate for the board?
I am a good candidate for the school board because I am a concerned and active citizen.
Please name a public leader you admire and explain why.
I admire President Joe Biden. He is a unifier and believes in community across the nation.
What is the most important issue facing your school board, and what would you do about it if elected?
One of the most important issues facing our students is access to mental wellness resources. I support increasing the access to mental wellness services and resources for students.
How concerned are you about school safety, and what if anything should be done to improve it?
I am greatly concerned about school safety. I support local law enforcement working with the public school administrators to collaborate on needed solutions.
Do you have any concerns about the way history is taught in your district’s schools, and if so, what are they?
History lessons should cover all events of the past in a detailed manner. Students should be allowed to research topics and develop their own theses.
Do you think there are circumstances when books should be removed from school libraries, and if so, what kind of books should be removed?
Books are provided to students to increase their knowledge of learning.
