Election
KEY: *Incumbent
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees, Place 6
What are the biggest challenges facing the district? While there are always the primary issues of student achievement, teacher appreciation and retention, and communication, the current big issues relate to lack of state funding (Robin Hood), declining enrollment and administrative transitions (new hires: Superintendent, Athletic Director, CFO)
How do you plan to address these issues? I plan to maintain financial responsibility while retaining teachers and still delivering high-quality programs for students. Additionally, I plan to use my experience to ensure we hire strong district leaders to advance student growth. I will provide fact-based communication and strengthen programs that attract new students to increase enrollment.

GCISD is currently operating without a vision and strategic plan for our future while struggling with financial stewardship. Our community distrusts the board’s decision making processes resulting in divisiveness. These prominent issues make it difficult to attract new families to the district.
We signal our priorities through our rhetoric and budget. I will be transparent and candid about my decisions. I will listen to the community, rather than dismiss their concerns. I will look for creative ways to restore programs our students have lost and increase revenue ensuring fiscal stability.
