First, I want to promote the relationships teachers have with students - this is how students learn. Second, I want to repair the wound between the board and community that was inflicted by the Mayacamas controversy. Third, I want to continue the current board's work in executing the Vision 2040 plan.
I am a middle school English teacher. I know first hand what it's like to lesson plan on the weekends and attempt to provide and excellent education to 120 thirteen year olds with insufficient resources. I will bring the invaluable perspective of a person who lives day in and day out with the ramifications of the board's decisions. Everything I do will be guided by my personal knowledge and intimate understanding of what teachers need in order to do their jobs successfully. The education of our students is my ultimate priority.
