Issue Position

I had the privilege of growing up in Davis County and attending some of the finest public schools in our state. I am proud of our area and my first pledge will be to do everything I can to ensure each child is best served. We can work together to ensure Davis County continues to lead the state in educating our children.

Just like government, our schools need to have more transparency so we can see where we need to make improvements and create models from the programs that are having success. Our children and their education needs should be the top priority when it comes to deciding how to spend tax dollars. Studying and tracking data on what works and what doesn't will ensure that we provide the best learning environment possible. We have limited resources. The only way we can improve is to deploy them better.

First off, I want to say to our great teachers - I consider it an honor to support you and your efforts. Second, I will support you in the classroom. The curriculum should be challenging, flexible and fair. We should create an environment best suited for the child and allow our parents and teachers the freedom to meet each student on their level with the best resources and methods available.
