Our School District is facing real challenges:
-Lack of transparency in decision-making.
-Teachers stretched thin without proper support.
-Parents unsure their voices are being heard.
Raise Test Scores, Not Taxes.
When leadership falls short, everyone feels the strain.
The Weight Families and Teachers Carry
Teachers feel undervalued, stretched beyond their limits, and unsupported.
Families question whether their tax dollars are being spent wisely, while community members feel left out of decisions that impact us all.
These problems are real—but together, we can change the story.
I’m running for school board to make sure our schools stay focused on what matters: helping students succeed, supporting teachers, and using our tax dollars wisely.
