Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

I will work with district administration to make necessary curriculum changes and investigate new programs to continue our improvement in proficiency scores. Our district is performing competently, but we must continue to seek ways to improve the quality of our students' education. I will continue to work towards these goals if reelected.

2. How can the School Board work with local government and the community on use of school facilities for after school programs and recreations?

Our schools already provide a wide variety of activities for children at all grade levels, as well as cooperating with community organizations for use of our facilities. A school board should be receptive to working with other governments and community groups toward facility use as long as programs are well conceived and do not compromise the school's security or educational functions.
