I spent 43 years in the field of education in a variety of roles. I was a teacher and coach early in my career and then moved into educational administration. I served as a building level administrator for 20 years. I spent two years in a diploma based adult education program and then finished my career as the Director of Business Services for Manhattan-Ogden USD 383.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Members of the Board of Education need to be engaged in the policy development and oversight of the district. The BOE hires and evaluates the Superintendent of Schools and holds that individual responsible for the daily operations of the district. A BOE member must be actively engaged in the work of the district, in terms of current events and activities that impact the current operations and future planning for facilities, budget development and educational success.
