As a candidate for the school board, I believe in the importance of providing a high-quality education that prepares all students for success in a changing world. I am committed to ensuring that our schools offer a safe, supportive, and disciplined environment where students can thrive academically and socially.
As a father of three, I see tremendous value of parental involvement and the role of the family in the educational process. Parents should have a voice in their child's education, and it is essential that we support parents' right to make informed decisions for their children’s future. I also believe that schools should respect and uphold the values that many families hold dear while maintaining an inclusive and respectful learning environment for all.
We need to tirelessly pursue raising the academic levels of all students to ensure their success as adults. The role of the school board is to strengthen and support our amazing teachers and administrators. To that end, I will use my extensive experience in partnerships to ensure the success of our teachers, students, and community.
I will continue to promote fiscal responsibility, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, and advocating for policies that focus on efficiency and accountability. We should prioritize initiatives that raise academic standards, promote individual responsibility, respect for authority, and the development of strong character.
I am dedicated to making collaborative, informed decisions that support our teachers, benefit our students, and uphold the integrity of our educational system. Together, we can build a future where our children are well prepared for success and the values of our community are respected and upheld.
