Is there a particular issue, or a specific reason, that has motivated you to seek a position on the board of education? Explain why you are running.
What experiences or skills have prepared you to serve as a board member?
How do you propose to balance the following factors: retention of good teachers, quality of education provided to the students, and the desire of most taxpayers for lower taxes.
What, if any, changes would you like to make to the school district curriculum?
No single issue motivated me to seek a position on the board of education. I have been thinking about joining the Morris School District Board of Education for several years. I have two young children in the district and felt that now was the right time.
I have been in education since 2008. I have worked as a high school social studies teacher, soccer coach, high school assistant principal, and district supervisor of social studies, and I currently serve as a middle school assistant principal.
This is a delicate balance. Every decision must prioritize the quality of education provided to our students while recognizing that retaining excellent teachers is essential to achieving that goal. At the same time, we have a responsibility to taxpayers to use resources efficiently and make financially sustainable decisions. Careful planning, thoughtful budgeting, and regular evaluation can help ensure we provide the greatest benefit to students and staff while respecting the community's financial concerns.
