Why I am Running
The South Triad Schools and Community have been without a voice on education matters for over 20 years. 9 elementary schools, one junior high and one high school need a voice as well parents, residents and the business community. Representation Matters is my motto. Two big points of contention will enter this race. Book banning and teacher respect. That's why.
Top 3 Priorities
Stop a radical group from banning books.
Create equality across the Triads.
Create a healthy learning environment for all teachers, students and parents.
