-
Is there valuable insight and some information you feel a prospective school board candidate should know BEFORE they seek election?
Anyone seeking to serve in a school board capacity should educate themselves on the district and to better understand the “why” behind decisions, policies and practices. Most importantly, they should be involved.
-
What have you learned about being an elected public official that has helped you successfully perform your duties for the children and citizens for the district?
The most important things I have learned are to ask questions, respect the staff and teachers, and never lose focus on our primary mission to provide a top notch education to our kids.
