Fleetwood Area High School graduate - 2 years at Penn State Berks Campus
20 years as a School Board Director. The knowledge gained from having owned a business plus managerial experience with other businesses I have been involved with.
Because I believe in the value of public education. I want students to be equipped and prepared to meet the challenges of the new work era in our country. I also want them to have the knowledge to become productive citizens and leaders.
1. Addressing the lack of proper funding.
2. The desperate need for charter school reform to eliminate the burden on public schools.
3. Addressing the teacher shortage in PA.
Yes absolutely. I am proud to say Fleetwood is already addressing those issues with new courses to assist them in those needs when they graduate.
The place for new technology is here now. We must address it even earlier than before. It is advancing faster than we can keep with and if we are to continue to be a dominant force in the world, our students must have the proper training now.
