Education I support balanced, thoughtful use of technology that enhances learning without overwhelming classrooms or distracting from real engagement. Education High-quality learning means classrooms where instruction adapts to students’ needs—whether they need more support, more challenge, or more opportunity to explore topics deeply. When learning feels meaningful and reachable, achievement grows and stress goes down. Education I support investments that reduce barriers and let staff focus on students. One example is our school-based telehealth program, which now allows both students and employees to meet with a healthcare provider during the school day using specialized equipment and the support of our school nurses. It saves instructional time and limits time away from work. Education Protect taxpayer investment through disciplined stewardship: Maintain transparency around major projects, continue proactive maintenance, and ensure every dollar invested in facilities leads to meaningful value for students and the community. Education Strengthen safety and accessibility across all buildings: Continue improving access, visibility, campus circulation, and key entry points — including recently approved safety vestibule upgrades at Jordan and Corner Canyon — so students and staff can learn, move, and gather safely and confidently. Education I support boundary decisions that reduce overcrowding, prevent under-enrollment, and ensure resources are focused where students need them most. Education I will continue advocating for classrooms free from bullying, harassment, and behavior that undermines learning. Safe, respectful environments help students grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Education I support practical, evidence-based measures that genuinely strengthen school safety—things that improve emergency preparedness, keep facilities secure, and give our educators and administrators the tools they need to respond effectively. Education Invest where improvements have the greatest impact on student learning: Prioritize upgrades to the spaces students use most — classrooms, labs, libraries, and learning commons — so the physical environment supports focus, engagement, and strong instruction rather than limiting it. Education I support efforts that help students access appropriate emotional, behavioral, and wellness supports when challenges arise, so learning isn’t interrupted and families aren’t left navigating those concerns alone. Education I support ongoing efforts to protect planning time, improve scheduling, and ensure workloads are manageable so educators can bring their best to the classroom and still have time for their families. Education I’m committed to listening to parents, teachers, and staff as we navigate safety needs and student support together. When we collaborate—and when decisions are based on real experience—we build safer and stronger schools for everyone. Education I’m committed to strengthening academic and career pathways in every part of the district, ensuring students have access to advanced coursework, CTE programs, world languages, STEM opportunities, and enrichment regardless of ZIP code. Education I support professional development that is practical, relevant, and accessible—whether that means deepening instructional skills, supporting new teachers, or strengthening the expertise of support professionals across our system. Education I’m committed to ensuring our educators have the tools, training, and time they need to deliver exceptional instruction. Supporting teachers directly supports student learning. Education I am committed to aligning staffing with enrollment to maintain strong school cultures, stable relationships, and consistent instructional quality. Education I will continue prioritizing thoughtful, data-informed planning so every school can provide a complete and vibrant educational experience—not a reduced version caused by declining enrollment. Education Classrooms That Spark Curiosity: High-quality learning is more than covering curriculum. It means creating environments where students ask questions, collaborate, think critically, experiment, and engage with real problems. When learning is relevant and challenging, students thrive. Education I believe in clear communication, consistent follow-through, and engaging directly with teachers and staff to understand what’s working and what needs attention. Their experience must inform our decisions.
