Approachable, Accessible and Accountable.  I want to create a culture of inclusivity.  I plan to be very involved, engaging with staff, students and parents in our community.  This will help me to understand the unique needs of our schools so that I can best represeent them. Everyone deserves to be heard.  Our community can count on me to be their voice.  I plan to represent the school baord with professionalism and leadership.  I am here for change for the better, by building and fostering relationships;bridging gaps between administration, teachers and parents.  Schools need to be a safe enviorment, everyone deserves and is entitled to an education. District transparacy, sustainabilty and our saftey standards are my top priority.  We live in an a beautiful town with excellent schools, but we all can make inprovements in subjects such as bullying, safety, financials and communication.  Our Special Education deparments need our help to continue the amazing work they are doing. As a school board member, we are trusted to make decisions that will affect our and our childrens futures.  We need responsible candidates with investment into our schools.
