Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Collaboration time for teachers.  They do not get enough time to work together, plan, and come up with ideas to help students learn.
 - Budget priorities.  I want to make sure the the maximum amount of money goes into the classroom, and not to administrative overhead.
 - Intelligent decision making. I believe that it is the responsibility of the district to communicate with all parties before making important decisions
