Emily Schlimme

Education I’m committed to keeping our schools strong and focused on every student’s growth. I believe in preparing students not just for college or careers, but for life—helping them build skills, confidence, and the values to be responsible, compassionate citizens. Taxes / Budget Fiscal responsibility is a top priority for me on the School Board. I am committed to using taxpayer dollars wisely by carefully reviewing the district’s budget and exploring ways to save costs or bring in additional revenue. Education Our policies should exceed basic legal standards, reflecting care, fairness, and thoughtfulness. I will strive to provide equitable opportunities for every student and staff member while minimizing risks. Doing the right thing—not just the minimum—ensures decisions remain student-centered and equitable for all families. Education I am committed to engaging openly and respectfully with parents, staff, and community members to ensure their voices are heard. Parental choice should allow families to make the best decisions for their own children, without limiting the professional, educator-led options available to all students. Wages / Job Benefits Our educators and staff are the heart of our schools, and their dedication makes our district strong. I will advocate for the support, resources, and collaborative systems they need to thrive and build long-term careers. When teachers feel valued and supported, they can focus on inspiring students and helping every child reach their full potential.
