Wages / Job Benefits Give our teachers a stronger voice to determine the professional development that they need instead of central office deciding for them. Teachers do not feel valued, and they need all the tools to support them working with all our students, including the most vulnerable learners. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Ensure that all buildings are following the policies and procedures regarding emergency drills. I would add that there should be a plan for central office staff to observe and monitor all schools during the mandatory drills. Moreover, there should be a debriefing regarding what went well and what needs to be updated for future drills. Taxes / Budget Look at a reduction of the number of directors and supervisors in central office. Furthermore, audit the number of staff in each department (special education, public relations, transportation, etc.) to prevent shortages in some departments and excess in other departments. Education Special Education is an area that I feel strongly about as a parent and educator. There needs to be an increase in professional development at the central office level. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Pilot cameras in the classrooms for the most vulnerable students (nonverbal) in order to ensure transparency and safety. The recording should be accessible to central office and not school administrators at the local school. Education Stop the pattern of changing the ELA curriculum every few years. Taxes / Budget Review and create potential revenue streams. Partnering with companies to advertise on buses, sports fields, and other buildings will provide additional revenue needed to support FCPS. Education Improve state test scores by improving curriculum, providing necessary professional development, and advocating for our most vulnerable learners.
