I am running for the Board to serve our kids, our staff and our town, building the best school system possible.

Innovate

I can help lead the district into its next strategic plan to innovate, focusing on the skills our future graduates need to succeed.

  • Chart a course for next generation education, today
  • Make measurable progress towards a plan for the future
  • Redefining what success looks like for our children and what skills they need to get there

Educate

I will support the things about our district that make it a good place today to educate our kids.

  • Support our teachers and their diverse needs in helping our kids excel
  • Build a foundation that’s ready for what’s next
  • Build transparency
  • Mindfulness, mental health self-care, SEL, grit, and self-awareness
  • Critical thinking and creative problem solving
  • Beneficial/ethical use of AI and technology

Achieve

I will work to find and improve any areas where we are slipping or struggling and could detract from our ability to achieve.

  • See the bond project management through, and support course corrections where needed
  • Spend vs outcome
  • Better ways for parents and teachers to partner on supporting their student’s success
