I believe kids need a good education system to prepare them for a sustainable career within the country's economic system.
We need to review the education system and identify any gaps we may have to address education problems within the system.
The school taxes the residents pay should be covering this process.

I have over 30 years of experience in public education and believe all students deserve a high quality education.
In order for students to thrive and succeed we need safe schools that foster a climate of high expectations and innovation. Through a process of continuous improvement we can determine program effectiveness and relevance to identify our return on investment. Making thoughtful decisions includes maximizing resources, leveraging partnerships and investing in the future.

One term on East Penn School Board (2021-25); parent in the district; resident in East Penn for 15+ years; work in education.
