My Accomplishments as a board member…
I have successfully advocated for fiscal responsibility and strong educational value for taxpayers.
I have successfully advocated to remove health and dental benefits for ISD 181 school board members. (This was a $23,000 per board member yearly expense to the school district.)
Increased fiscal transparency and planning. During my tenure as a school board member the level of discussion of fiscal matters have increased during the regular public school board meetings. I have met with multiple parent groups in an effort to hear and understand their concerns. I have remained accessible by phone, email or face to face meetings.
I have successfully advocated for student mental health needs to be consistently part of school board discussions and decisions.
As a school board we have provided oversight of improved school entrance security throughout the school district.
My Goals for the next four years…
Continue to increase fiscal transparency, effective financial planning and educated decision making.
Strengthen ability to implement a fiscally responsible approach to providing mental health support services and prevention programs within the school district.
Strengthen school district's ability to meet educational needs of all students.
Define clear strategies for continuous district improvement, professional development, quality instruction and high student achievement.
Increase ISD 181 student enrollment.
Increase preparation for skilled careers.
