Public Education
Support for public education is central to the role of a school board director, and I am a proud advocate for an amply funded, high-quality public education system. As a product of public schools myself, I know firsthand the positive impact strong schools have—not just on students, but on entire communities.
Public education creates opportunities, fosters lifelong learning, and builds the foundation for a more connected and equitable society. It prepares students to become thoughtful, capable contributors to their communities. Our schools are also spaces where relationships grow—where students, staff, families, and neighbors come together to support one another.
There is both beauty and challenge in the truth that public education is for every student. The challenge lies in meeting the diverse needs of all learners. The beauty is found in students, staff, and families with diverse experiences listening to and learning from each other. I am committed to strengthening public education so every student has the opportunity to thrive.
