Taxes / Budget I want to commit to practices that will keep me accountable to the public as a school board director. We need school board members who will hold district management accountable in how they spend public funding, care for students of diverse backgrounds and abilities, and how well they partner with their employees and families in making decisions for our schools. Education I will regularly hold town halls, visit schools, and call on BEA and OSEA for their valuable perspectives. Education I am committed to employing the latest research on how to effectively deal with mental illness, school violence, racism, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Education It is not enough to say we value equity in BSD meetings. We must seek perspectives of marginalized communities, and join the work they are already doing to support their members.
