I have deep roots in Richfield. My children attended RPS, and my spouse was an employee there for many years. I have also served on several boards and commissions, including the Board of Barbers and Cosmetology, the Health Advisory Commission, and am currently a Human Rights Commissioner. I care deeply about my community and the students of RPS that they are able to receive their education in a safe and welcoming environment.
If elected, my top three priorities would be:
1. School safety enhancements to provide a physical and psychologically safe learning experience
2. Curriculum content development that includes advanced technology and AI solutions so that students can compete in the current digital landscape.
3. Mental health wellness.
My strategies would include reviewing the current budget to find the least impactful areas to cut that would least affect school safety, mental health wellness and a competitive High School curriculum.
1. I would recommend that a strategic analysis is done to get the current data on where the disparities are most evident to find the root causes
2. I would solicit feedback from stakeholders regarding funding for actionable solutions
3. I would recommend we tap into community and corporate resources to provide experiences such as corporate mentorship programs, apprenticeship programs and skills training starting in Jr. High to High school, so students can graduate with a life skill.
I would seek their input and feedback through a variety of communication methods, allow time and space for clarification and collaboration to tackle and provide solutions and process changes.
