My Top 3 Priorities
- Recovery from Covid's Impact – Assessing the learning and social impact on our kids, and using every resource to get them back on track to be successful.
- Anti-Racism Education - Expanding upon the work already started in Mill Valley to acknowledge and actively do the work to tear down racist beliefs and attitudes.
- Facilities Management - Repairing/replacing aging schools is a significant issue that will require careful planning and execution as we tackle the 10-year-plan for facilities.
