Issue Position

Lisa is a strong advocate for education and will bring years of experience in education to the Nevada Legislature. She is a college instructor, who teaches courses on Political Science and the U.S. and NV Constitution at Truckee Meadows Community College. Prior to teaching at TMCC she taught at the University of Phoenix for six years. She is a former member of the State of Nevada PTA Board of Directors. She has worked with community members on legislation that affects our schools and children. Lisa will draw on this extensive background to provide better educational opportunities for all of our children. She applauds the Legislature's recent decisions to increase accountability over public education by giving parents additional "choice" through the expansion of charter schools, the creation of Education Savings Account Vouchers, and Opportunity Scholarships. She will fight to protect and build upon these school choice reforms by ensuring that every child has access to a highly effective teacher and that these teachers are recognized and rewarded for their outstanding skills.
