Three words that best describe you as a candidate:

Dedicated Involved Responsible

Experience:

Past graduate and completing my 4th year on the board

Why are you running?

To share my experiences with our students, staff and community members!

What sets you apart from the other candidates?

Being a past graduate of this school along with my kids, I'm excited to see my grandkids and great grandkids receive the best education possible and grow into responsible adults!

What are the top two or three issues facing the school district?

Enrollment numbers, financial issues and staffing issues.

What are your plans to address those issues?

Working with staff and community members to promote the positive that lies within our community!

How would you prioritize area businesses, jobs and the economy?

How would you address the school district’s budget needs?

The only way for us to meet our financial shortfall is to increase student enrollment, thankfully that is happening! One other way is through legislation as long as it comes without attached strings! Another way is through levies or a referendum, which we will be looking at.
