What are the main challenges the district is now facing and how would you plan to address them?
Challenges: growth of our district, lack of state funding and school board members’ overreach. We continuously plan for our consistent growth and maintain an exemplary education for all students. Appeal to our legislatures of what is at risk in not funding our public schools. Continuously combat political and personal agendas.
The main challenges the district faces are teacher retention, balancing the budget and improving learning outcomes. I would address these challenges by strengthening our discipline policy, protecting class sizes and all positions that work directly with students, and placing the focus back on reading, writing and arithmetic.
2024-2025 $10 million overspent; balance the budget; working through the difficult conversations to make it happen. Give parents peace of mind with secure buildings and appropriate levels of security officers for all schools. Finally, transparency in our administration about its fiscal reporting and clear policy guidelines to safeguard future generations.
