Please list the highlights of your civic involvement: We have been faced with many challenges during the pandemic and while it was recommended that we begin the school year virtually, we were one of the first districts in the area to implement a hybrid schedule. We have worked closely with the administration and teachers to bring back the majority of our students to a four day a week schedule.
Why are you running? I believe in the importance of ensuring that every child receives a quality education in order to be successful in their future endeavors. I feel I am able to serve the district as an ethical, compassionate and fair Board Member in order to meet the needs of the students, teachers, administration and the community.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? Being a School Board Member requires a high level of dedication and commitment to responsibilities that extend beyond attending Board Meetings. The role of the School Board is to ensure the school district is responsive to the values, beliefs and priorities of the community.
Why should people vote for you? I am a dedicated and committed member of the School Board and would like the opportunity to continue to serve the students, parents, teacher, administrators and the citizens of Freeburg.
