1). Look at expanding alternative credentials and trade-specific education that focus on immediate employment. 2). Ensure good fiscal responsibility and accountability in spending. 3). Stand for the students and staff in decision making while rooted in community values.
My lifetime experiences of being a wife, mother, teacher (24 years teaching special need students) and entrepreneuer/small business owner has taught me the value of using both money and time responsibly.
