What I Believe In
Every child’s right to an education
Aligning everything we do with improving student achievement
Providing a safe, healthy, caring learning environment for all students and staff
Being involved, in order to effect change
Being open, approachable, accessible and fair
Moving forward by working together
Public Education
Education Is Not Preparation For Life; Education Is Life Itself..
-John Dewey
My Commitments Are To
Always put our students first
Be accountable to the public
Be ethical in all that I do
Stay current on issues
Advocate for change when necessary
Work together respectfully
Be fair and objective
Listen to all sides before making decisions
Expect that every individual feel valued
Why Am I Running
I have a proven track record of delivery on my commitments.
As a parent, former teacher and school trustee, I have an appreciation of the complexity of the issues in public education.
There are current vacancies which need to be filled and I believe that my leadership skills, experience and commitment will be an asset to the board.
I also know that Every Town “Still” Needs A Good Marshall!!
