Priority Issues:

1) Local Control- Teachers and Principals know what works best for their classrooms and schools. I support more decision making and accountability at the local level.

2) Transparency in the use and spending of all public monies.

3) Review the current standards and fix what isn't working. If changes need to be made, let's make them quickly. I will listen to all parents and teachers on what is and isn't working.

4) Improving our students preparation for college and career. We need to help students identify their strengths and interests at an earlier stage and help align their education and graduation preparation with workforce needs.
