VOTE411 Voter Guide

I am a strong supporter of public education. I believe it is the best place to meet the needs of all students. My goal is to maintain and strengthen the excellent work of the St. Charles City School District teachers and staff, in addition to preserving and advocating for public school funding.

Within the St. Charles City School District I had the opportunity to work in the special education area as both an evaluator and as a teacher of the learning disabled. This experience taught me to translate data into usable information for teachers from K-12 to university levels.

1). Safety. 2). Education for all children. 3). Improving scores while making sure students are well rounded.

Before becoming a school board member, I volunteered for the district in many capacities serving the students.

My three priorities: for every student to reach their full academic potential, to create a learning environment where every student is safe and feels welcome, and to expand students' vocational opportunities and career information.

I am a retired business/vocational educator, H.S. guidance counselor, swim coach, FBLA sponsor, U. of Missouri adjunct professor in career information and development, with a B.S. in business administration. As a board director, I never missed a board meeting, served on numerous hiring and negotiation committees, worked on the bond issue drive and attended many activities.

1). Student safety and accountability. 2). Parents as partners. 3). Responsible use of our tax dollars.
