Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)
Presently there are no practicing attorneys on the Board. The Board would benefit from my extensive financial and legal backgrounds in addressing the myriad of issues it faces during the course of the school budget and academic years. As a CPS parent, I am deeply concerned over past Board actions.2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)
In order to ensure properly funded delivery of education to our students, controls on district expenditures at every level must be enacted.Education begins at home. Parents are an integral part of student success. Therefore, parental involvement in the education of their own children is expected. The learning environment is found not only in the classroom, but also in the home. Parents must be a part of the child's educational experience and supportive of the efforts of their classroom teachers.
Excellent teachers should be rewarded. Tenure should not protect poor performance in the classroom.
3. Would you support a "year around school" pilot program for grades K-5? Why would you support or oppose such a program? (100 word limit)
Yes, but on a voluntary basis.
