Priorities
-
Fighting to ensure students with disabilities receive services such as IEPs and 504 Plans to access a high-quality education.
-
Every student deserves access to enriching educational opportunities beyond the classroom. I will advocate for continued funding and expanded access to before and after-school programs that support academic achievement, leadership development, and student engagement.
-
Student success must remain our top priority. I will support evidence-based strategies to increase student achievement, improve test scores, and continue efforts to close achievement gaps so that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
-
A high school diploma opens doors to future opportunities. I will work to maintain and strengthen graduation rates by ensuring students receive the academic support, guidance, and resources necessary to reach this important milestone.
-
Students face challenges both inside and outside the classroom. I will advocate for increased access to counselors, psychologists, and mental health services to ensure students receive the support they need to thrive academically and emotionally.
-
Strong schools require responsible financial management. I will support balanced budgets that prioritize student success while protecting vital programs, supporting employees, and maintaining long-term financial stability.
-
Not every student's path is the same. I will continue supporting Career Technical Education programs that provide hands-on learning experiences and prepare students for college, careers, and workforce opportunities.
-
Every child deserves to learn in a safe, clean, and supportive environment. I will work to ensure our campuses remain secure and focused on student learning and well-being.
