My Top 3 Priorities

  • Fair and Equitable contract for our teachers and staff.
  • School safety. Teachers should never be armed at school. We need to work on mental health issues, bullying, and the rise in suicide rates to help our youth.
  • Expanding the arts programs and bringing back vocational/trade classes to give options to those students that don't want to follow a 4-year college path. We need to teach the entire student body, not just a portion.
