Since moving here in 1991, I’ve had the benefit of being a child, a student, an employee and a homeowner in our beautiful area. I’ve seen the growth and transformation in all aspects. Through it all, I’ve seen living here as a privilege and a blessing.
Monroe-Woodbury has helped to raise me. Now, it’s going to be a large part in raising the next generation. Being on the Board of Education and providing my time and effort to helping in any way I can is my way to give back.
Also, I’d like to instill the belief in our district that instead of just having a child graduate, we should aim to provide the proper foundation for them to build off of.3
The most critical issue I see at a high-level is when it comes to identifying issues in our district. There’s not enough transparency and communication with students, teachers and parents. I’d propose we proactively create more opportunities for outreach to our school community to better understand where our time and budget should be spent.
If not, we run the risk of looking like decisions are being made in a silo.
