Name one thing the current School Board has done well and one thing that you would change.
Education
Attended Kent State
Experience
20 years as a Berkshire School Board member, 6 years as Board President
Volunteer/Community Service
Various projects in Burton and Newbury for Berkshire and St. Helen Parish
Project based learning has enabled our students to grow and achieve experience needed to
succeed whether it be in the work force or continuing with their education.
I would love to find a way to properly fund education in public schools that would not keep asking property owners for more funding. The state needs to fix the problem with us having to keep putting levies on the ballot.
