For me, the most important issue in this race is adequate funding to identify and implement effective programs and resources for all students, including those with special needs. Working for the good of our children should always be the School Board’s number one priority.
Communication, relationship-building, and community involvement are key aspects in helping individuals move forward in the same direction. As a former teacher and principal, I would employ strategies proven effective in the past as well as seek out new ones to enhance communication and build relationships within and among the various stakeholder groups, all of which should lead to greater community involvement.
