What changes, if any, would you make to the district’s budget?
Clear Creek ISD District 4
What are your priorities if elected?
The district faces declining enrollment and with it, declining revenues. It is imperative that we maintain high educational standards regardless of budget. Meeting that challenge is my highest priority.
The budget presentation at the last board workshop was about as good an attempt at meeting our obligations with the revenue that we have as we’ll likely get. No signi cant changes. ... I would like to see the state step up with the funding that is obligated under the state constitution.

Obtain the resources available, keep funds in CCISD and focused on students and teachers in the district. Ensure libraries are supported and sta ed with trained librarians who curate collections [and] not ban books. Work to keep schools safe and secure while maintaining welcoming and open environments.
Currently, the budget appears to be well managed. I’m not going to advocate for change for change’s sake. If elected, I’ll re-evaluate once I have greater visibility on the totality of the situation.
