Teacher Based Teams (TBT) models have proven to be very effective for student development and academic success. I will push and advocate for these things and many others as I feel people, the community, teachers, and staff are often not being heard or considered. Students and teachers also need to have more of a voice with regard to the district making decisions. Students and families need to see and hear from people who look like them. It is also imperative that we have diverse leadership with decision making capacity that truly is reflective of our district. I would also like to reduce overcrowding in classrooms, as large class sizes impact the ability to give attention to students, increases distractions for students, and can lead to increased anxiety and stress for students. I also want to continue to advocate for exceptional facilities as I feel this is a huge area of opportunity in eliminating disparities for our students. Ensuring students have access to not only computers, but Wi-Fi and multi language tech support. We also need additional training and support tools for distance learning options. This includes facility conditions, wrap around services, engagement, and support services for all families.

Students' zip codes shouldn’t determine what kind of education they receive. We start creating equity by eliminating the emphasis on where a child lives. This is a multidimensional question, but here is my starting point. (State Aide, Grants, Capital Campaigning projects) The district needs long-term strategic planning to identify and prioritize our building infrastructure needs. Facilities impact student engagement, behavior, and knowledge retention.

Facility conditions can impact teacher recruitment, retainment, and commitment Not being able to recruit and retain top teaching talent directly impacts the quality of education the students receive.
