What I'll do
- Security: The safety of our children is of the utmost importance and will be a priority during my term.
- Education: Small class sizes with a full curriculum will help address those pockets of students with declining test scores.
- Communication: I will work tirelessly to make sure school board meetings aren't a one-way conversation.
- Financial transparency: You will know how much is being spent by our schools at every level. Every administration position will be evaluated for relevance.
