Westlake for WCSD At Large F

My vision for the district and its future includes my passion for the public, improving student outcomes, community betterment, and being a champion for students, parents & teachers.  

A board member vs. the superintendent roles. The Board sets policy, hires/evaluates the superintendent, while ensuring fiscal health. The Superintendent manages day-to-day operations. A Board member, my role is strategic. 

I plan to engage with parents, teacher, students and the community with open communication, accessibility, listening to opinions, understanding concerns from parents, teachers and students while working collaboratively with the staff and unions for transparency.

What about budget deficits? 

Budget cuts are a difficult decision to make. My priority is for the student's needs, instructional quality, teacher support and parental support. 

When a decision is made that I do not agree with, I rely on facts, and act in my community's best interests for parents, teachers & students. Feedback from the community is important to understanding if the right decision was made or it needs to be changed. 

Our district is facing many continued challenges. Some are new and some I have personally watched for over 3 decades. These challenges include continued poor student testing scores, low graduation rates, and low enrollment rates. This amazing community needs to invest in our students as many of them will be in our workforce.
