Focus

  • Demanding transparency and accountability—because parents and the community deserve to know how decisions are made.

 

  • Building real partnerships between parents, teachers, staff, administration and the board—because it takes a village. When we work together, our schools thrive.

 

  • Making smart, responsible investments in education ensuring every dollar goes where it’s needed most, without waste or bureaucracy.

 

  • Strengthening our schools so every student is prepared for success—whether that’s college, the military, a career, or serving their community.
