Age: 45
What qualifies you to hold this position? My volunteer and work experiences in 199 provide me the connections with our community that will help our board get the feedback it needs. As a former attorney, I’ve got the skills for analyzing policy with thoughtfulness. I have an extensive history of working on challenges in 199, and I look forward to working toward positive outcomes.
What would your top priorities be if elected? I prioritize fulfilling our mission to inspire our IGHMS students. I believe we should provide support and resources for our students struggling with substance abuse. Finally, we need to ensure our teachers are appreciated and heard so they remain Spartans for the entirety of their careers.
What do you think is the primary role of government? The primary role of the school board is to respectfully and ethically, and with community input, work to set the vision, goals and course for the school district, and to monitor the performance and progress of the district and the superintendent, to ensure that all students are able to succeed at their highest level.
