Political Beliefs

Political Philosophy

As proud member of our community, I’m committed to helping make our schools exceptional.  I’m running for school board trustee because I believe in the value of public education. I want to work with teachers, parents and the community to ensure Reed Union School District students receive the world-class education they deserve.

 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Education and Master of Education, I still have a valid teacher’s certification, and as a former teacher gives me the experience to have the tools to advocate on behalf of educators, students, and families.  As a university administrator, I understand the realities of working with a budget, and will ensure that RUSD spends our taxpayer money wisely.

 

If elected, I’ll diligently work toward retaining and recruiting highly qualified teachers, developing and supporting academic initiatives that will prepare our children for the future.  As your trustee, I will work to ensure our taxpayer dollars are spent so they have an impact in the classroom, provide for special needs students, make sure to include diversity and inclusion, and look to expand after-school programs. I respectfully ask for your vote come November.
