Why are you running for o ce?
Why are you running for o ce?
I am running for o ce because GCISD stu- dents deserve an excellent education. Sadly, I have watched the deterioration of the dis- trict’s academic performance since my two children have graduated. I want to get our district back on track by eliminating outside political in uence in the curriculum and get back to prioritizing academics while creating an environment of trust and transparency between the district and community.
My goal as a trustee and a conservative is stewardship. Stewardship is applied to our daily environment in education, health, eco- nomics and culture. Being involved for over 20 years in Grapevine and Colleyville has allowed me to listen and learn the needs and expectations of our community in our chang- ing environment. I will be a voice reviewing, developing, and being held accountable for our students’ college, career and military readiness.
I want to foster a climate of authentic connection across all campuses and for all students. Recent years have been a time of great polarization in our nation, state and community. I believe that we are in danger of losing sight of what we are here to do—to ensure that educational excellence is accessi- ble to all students. I’d like to build bridges so that we can put aside di erences and work together.
After 35 years in the federal service, I recent- ly retired and am ready to serve my commu- nity with the same commitment that I served our great country. As a parent, veteran and spouse of a teacher, I bring a wide range of experiences that will accentuate the reasons we choose GCISD as our home. I am ready to bridge the gaps between those in our district with di ering opinions and nd the common ground to ensure our children receive the very best education.
