Every child has unique needs and abilities.

My #1 issue is the continuance of a broad spectrum of educational opportunities for students. School districts are often expected to do more with less funding due to budgetary pressures. I have seen this pattern many times in my professional role within two school districts. Often this means that important programs in the arts, industrial education and sports curriculum are seriously curtailed or eliminated. I would like to be involved in this decision-making process to minimize the impact on key programs for our students.
