Educational Priorities

As your Elk Grove School Board trustee, I will work tirelessly to ensure our children are afforded opportunities for academic success. As I run for election this November, I want all community members and parents to know my educational priorities as your Board member and why I deserve to be elected.  These are not new priorities, but priorities I will advocate for as your Board member.  Under my leadership on the Board, Elk Grove will:

  • Expand access to and keep funding for before and after School enrichment programs,

  • Increase Test Scores and moved significantly towards closing the achievement gap,

  • Secure the Highest Graduation rates in the County,

  • Increase access to mental health resources for children that are struggling,

  • Keep a Balanced Budget, while increasing salaries, and expanding programs that are proven to work, such as paraeducators

  • Lower class sizes and implemented districtwide full day kindergarten and TK programs at every school, and

  • Establish safe, clean learning environments for all children.

The Next 4 years, I am committed to:

  • Expanding new student College and Career Opportunities by exploring having student fairs about student assistant positions and other job opportunities with the State of California

  • Fighting to make sure every child feels safe on our campuses to concentrate on learning,

  • Holding the District Accountable for expenditures that are tied to student success, such as para-educators,

  • Leading the effort to continue the District's open communication and transparency in advocating students' first

  • Supporting our Teachers in the classroom because the more we help our teachers the more we can help our children succeed
