Thank You
 
Unfortunately, the results did not come out in my favor.

I really want to thank everyone who supported my campaign and all who volunteered.   
 
I will pass along all of the feedback that I received throughout the campaign to Kathy.  Please continue to send her your feedback directly - it really does make a difference!
 
Thanks again for everything.

 

             My Guiding Principles

                   Transparency & Accountability
It is extremely important (especially during the current economic climate) that our School District continue to provide, and expand, transparency in all decisions.
 
We need to provide easy to find, detailed information on policy and budget decisions, and how these decisions were made.  Residents will then be fully informed and can hold District leaders accountable for results.
Community Outreach 
My goal is to greatly increase involvement of the community in our school district by providing a broader opportunity for community input and feedback.
To reach this goal, beyond asking you to simply attend the current school board meetings or open hearings, I will:
  • Create a District 6 "Advisory Group" with monthly meetings. (Currently Recruiting - see "How You Can Help" page)
  • Create "School Board" conferences, modeled after Parent/Teacher conferences.
  • Continue door knocking during election time EVERY year - not just when the District 6 seat is up for election - to hear your feedback.
  • Reach out during the term via phone calls.
  • Maintain a personal website in order to facilitate your feedback.

Providing a Relevant Perspective

I am confident that my combination of business and educational experience, as well as my current life stage provides a solid foundation and relevant perspective that will benefit the School Board.

  • 17 years private business experience.
  • K-12 guidance counseling education and school experience.
  • Parent to two sons currently enrolled in our schools - ECFE & Kindergarten.
  • Husband to a licensed teacher substitute teaching in our district.
  • Acquainted with countless members of the community, also with children in the district.
