STATEMENT

 As an advocate for quality education, I firmly believe that every student deserves access to a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. Over the past year, I have been speaking on behalf of our parents and community.  I have helped advocate against our schools closing, against the redistricting plans and have challenged the BOE to do better. I believe special interests and politics have no place in our schools.  I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to the growth and development of our school district.

If elected, my key priorities will include:

- Better long term facility planning
- Better long term fiscal planning
- Maintain neighborhood schools
- Prevent overcrowding of schools 
- Smaller class sizes
- Proper facilities management

- Ensuring equitable access to educational resources for all students

- Supporting innovative teaching methods and curriculum enhancements presented by our amazing educators.
- Enhancing communication and collaboration between the board, parents, and community members
- Enhancing communication between town bodies
- Advocating for the needs and concerns of students, parents, and educators
- HVAC and clean air for all students and faculty
- Improve building specs for future projects

I am committed to transparency, accountability, and open dialogue. I believe that by working together, we can create a school district that prepares our students for success in an ever-changing world.
