Social Services Ensuring that schools have enough school counselors and mental health resources to support the needs of students. Wages / Job Benefits Investing in teacher salaries. For too long, our teachers’ salaries have lagged behind the national average. We must pay our educators competitively to ensure our students learn from the best. Education Providing schools with adequate support for students with disabilities, 504 plans, and mental health diagnoses. Education Providing the tools that our teachers, librarians, coaches, school counselors, paraprofessionals, and administrators need to be their best. Supporting and listening to school staff is part of classroom success. Education Successful public education starts by keeping public funds in public schools so all students have the tools and opportunities they need to be successful. As a school board member, I will never support sending tax dollars to charter or private schools over our public schools. Education Expanding educational support for every student—not just those at risk of failing or those in the top 10%. To help students regain pre-pandemic achievement levels, we must implement creative solutions and prioritize the success of all learners. Government Reform Transparent and collaborative decision-making that engages school staff, students, parents, and community members, ensuring that decisions reflect the needs and voices of the entire community.
