I am currently serving on the school board and I also serve as ab director on the Columbia River Fire and Rescue board. I have been a part of the Rainier community for 22 years. My wife and I have been raising our 6 kids here and want to see familys and students thrive.
My first priority is to the students and families of Rainier. Federal and state laws are a framework for us to operate within.
I believe the Rainier school district is headed in a good direction. Every issue has unique obstacles. We are starting to work on next years budget. With limited resources and many needs we are going to have to be very careful with every dollar. One of our most urgent issues is attendance. We need to be looking at creative ways to get students and families to make school a priority.
