I am running for School Board to elevate transparency, restore trust, and ensure real accountability in our district. Families deserve clear communication, responsible leadership, and a school system that treats every taxpayer dollar with discipline and care. I strongly support parent rights, full access to curriculum information, and open, honest communication from our schools. I will make sure teachers have the support they need, strengthen meaningful parent engagement, and stay relentlessly focused on improving academic outcomes for every student.
