Our children were subjected to unprecedented change through Covid. Whether it was the disruption of routine, the hyper focus on perceived “safety”, the overwhelming push into unregulated digital spaces, or the acceleration of unproven and inappropriate concepts – nobody was asked to pivot harder or faster than our children. We’ve all faced significant challenges in the last few years, and it’s high time we take stock and correct the lingering issues our children are suffering. 

Parents want a greater focus on academic achievement, and to eliminate the barriers between them and their children’s education. Students deserve to grow up free of conflict between home and school. Teachers and staff deserve to be supported, and communities want students equipped to succeed in an increasingly complex world. I’m running for Trustee because I believe our School Board can and should deliver on these vitally important priorities. 

A natural collaborator, I’ll make it a priority to improve student achievement, lessen the stress load on parents and staff, honor teachers, uphold and defend parental rights, and focus on education, not activism.
