Q
&
A

With which political party do you align?

The school board race is non-partisan.

It's important that the well-being & future of our kids is independent of party-alignment. Vote for a person, not politics. Vote for your candidate based on their stance on issues, community involvement & relevant experience; not based on a label that doesn't even have an agreed-upon definition. 

Moreover, just because someone else labels me as a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat does not make me one.

What is the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan?

CCS has a team of 50 educators, parents, community members, Board members & administrators that will solidify the plan over the next school year. They will be informed by the survey that was sent out community-wide in late spring; the results of which will be presented at the October board meeting. 

Are you for or against parental involvement in schools?

For. Always for. Parents should feel that they are in partnership with their school/teacher/support staff in the education of their child(ren). One of our partnerships I am most proud of in CCS is our Teaching & Learning Council (TLC), a diverse district group that is responsible for reviewing proposed new curriculum, courses of study & adopting resources, as well as our dedicated Parent Advisory Councils.

You seem solely focused on school safety. What about all of the other important issues in schools like academics?

 

​School safety will always be my #1-10 priorities. If kids/staff do not feel safe in school, they won't reach their full potential in anything else. Parents also need to feel they're making the safe decision by sending their kids to CCS. My goal is to be able to say that we are doing everything we can to keep our children and staff safe in school. This is why I requested to be on the BOE school safety committee, campaigned for and approved hiring a full time safety director, additional SRO, HWC partnership, a follow-up independent security audit, and additional target-hardening measures.
