Top Priorities

Safe & Healthy Schools

​

Parents must feel confident that their child is receiving the best possible education in safe, healthy learning environments. I will work to ensure all MPS buildings are appropriately assessed for lead and other contaminants, and that necessary steps are promptly taken to remediate anything that could cause harm. Safe learning environments also mean that every student feels welcomed and supported in the classroom. I will advocate for expanded student access to mental health supports, school nurses, counselors, and other professionals that support student health and wellness.

 

 

Increase Student Achievement

​

As a lifelong educator, I have a deep understanding of what is required to meet every students’ unique learning needs. I will advocate for student-centered policies that allow students to succeed in the classroom, graduate on time and thrive as future leaders in our community. This means doing more to retain and attract highly qualified, licensed educators; reduce class sizes; and expand after school and extracurricular offerings.

 

 

Accountability & Earning Community Trust

​

District funding must prioritize student achievement, not unaccountable bureaucracy. The hardworking residents of District 7 deserve to know that their tax dollars are being spent wisely. I will do what it takes to get MPS administration back on track. All spending will be reported and aligned with local, state, and national guidelines and requirements. I will also engage MPS families in more meaningful ways to rebuild trust and community.
