My Top 3 Priorities
- Student Well-Being and Success - This is the school district's ultimate responsibility and guiding principle for all actions. Readying our students for college and career takes collaboration, listening and creative problem solving.
- Transparency - I would like to see Lucia Mar record podcasts of board meetings that would be available online and organized by agenda item, so the public can listen to discussions important to them on their own timeframe.
- Responsible Stewardship of District Funds - I am committed to careful and sensible fiscal management with thorough research and outreach to stakeholders to ensure that every dollar is leveraged to best serve our students.
