Issue Position: Preserving Public Education

Issue Position

As a former special education teacher, I took money out of my own pocket to purchase supplies. As a School Board Member, I have been fighting for our teachers and our students; this is unacceptable! It is imperative that we focus on educating the whole child as opposed to focusing on high stakes testing. Our teachers deserve to be treated and paid like the professionals they are; children are our greatest resource and we must ensure that every child gets the best education possible based on his or her individual needs. Preserving and funding public education is essential.
