| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board? | We have a board that is 4-3 liberal so making conservative changes is not happening. Our current board is dysfunctional. We have too much time spent on DEI and SEL which the majority of our community is not in line with and we are distracted and not addressing real issues like lower test scores and trying to catch up from the damage done during the pandemic. |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue. | Return to Academic Excellence |
| 3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not? | Yes, parents have a responsibility to put their children in an environment that aligns with their values and gives their children the best learning opportunity. |
| 4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing? | The parent is the ultimate authority and has a say in the education and wellbeing of their children. |
| 5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not? | Absolutely not! The is left is creating hysteria. |
| 6. What are your thoughts on “Comprehensive Sex Education”, “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”, and “Social Emotional Learning”? Should these be a part of our public education curriculum or supplemental learning materials or left to parents to teach and why? | We are distracted and the left has made parents afraid to address DEI, SEL, and sex education by immediately grouping into a hard right group. Disagreeing is common sense and is not a hard right position. |
| 7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected? | My ultimate goal will be to provide direction away from the time, money, and overall energy put into programs that do not directly affect or improve reading, writing, math, and science. |
| 8. Safety is a major concern for most families, how would you support and encourage safety measures for girls in their private spaces, if elected? | There are two genders male and female. We need to immediately address this issue and find alternative options for those who feel the need to have access to the other gender bathroom. |
| 9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today? | Yes, there should be no cross-over in sports. |
| 10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them. | Not at this time but like Moms for America Action I am expecting several in the next few weeks. I look forward to your endorsement. |
