Comal ISD board of trustees, Single Member District 5

What is the most important issue facing residents and how would you address it if elected?

What is the overall takeaway you want voters to understand about your campaign?

The teacher shortage is the most important issue that is impacting our school district. I would address this issue by focusing on retaining seasoned educators through competitive pay and robust classroom support.

Having experienced the Texas Public School system firsthand, as a student and a parent, I am a staunch advocate for public education. I will do my best to ensure that all children in Comal ISD have access to quality education in a safe and positive environment.

The 2023-28 Collaborative Vision developed with 60 residents and the resulting District Improvement Plan provide a clear road map. In this time of accelerated growth, it is especially important to ensure that teachers have the resources they need and are competitively compensated, while the ISD is very efficient with administrative costs.

I seek this office because of my desire to serve a nonpartisan role and don’t intend to campaign other than to readily answer questions, attend forums, and respond to questionnaires like this one. I believe my parental and broad and deep corporate and nonprofit board experience will bring useful perspective.
