ON THE ISSUES
TRANSPARENCY
Transparency means making sure families and educators always know how decisions are made and how they affect our schools. I will communicate clearly, share board updates, and remain accessible to students, parents, teachers, and staff. Listening and accountability build trust, and I am committed to open communication, honest reporting, and consistent engagement across District 5.
SUPPORTING TEACHERS
Strong schools start with supported teachers. When educators have the tools, respect, and professional growth they need, students benefit. I will advocate for competitive compensation, elevate teacher and administrator voices through advisory structures, and support safe, well-equipped classrooms that help educators excel and students thrive.
TOGETHERNESS
Families, schools, and communities achieve more when we work together. I will encourage strong family engagement, support early-learning partnerships, and create opportunities for student leadership and voice. Building welcoming schools where parents, community partners, and students feel included strengthens school culture and student outcomes.
