VISION

Collaborate & Build Trust

As we are all aware there is a lot of divide this day and age. I have experience and a passion to help build a healthy compromise to build trust and collaboration between the facility/ staff, parents and students. As the saying goes, “it takes a village”. I have always believed that. We need to continue as a board to build that, listen to the community and help mind the gap. This will be the key to the success of any school board.

Resources

Supporting Students and Teachers by ensuring they have the training and resources needed for a growing student body. Keeping up with the growing community and the furthering needs to ensure to address the needs of Special needs, diverse backgrounds and health challenges of our student body. Helping teachers with training to handle these challenges with proper tools and knowhow. Also giving them the ability to support the students and parents of this community. Ensure we are ahead of the curve by being proactive in ensuring district wide systems, continue building programs like ORBIS and alternative education, while also focusing on technology and advancing learning opportunities. Setting up resources for students to go to college, or go into a trade. While also giving parents tools to be an active role in their child’s education.

Retaining & Attracting Talent To The District

As we all know that is a challenge everywhere. How do we ensure that we have the teachers needed to keep class room sized down, safe and successful. We want talent that want to work with our students, that know we trust them and have successful relationships with our parents, students and the community. We want to send a message that not only are we grateful for good teachers to drive results in the student education.

Educational Vision

Our world is ever changing, we need to ensure that our students will have a sound foundational education. This education should be diverse in how its taught, what is taught and perspectives should be expanded and relatable. All Students must be encompassed in the educational vision, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment. Students should feel safe and be prepared be strive for excellence to become success stories.
