KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board?

For clarification purposes I would like to share I am not a politician, I am a patriot. Politicians run after seats, but I run after generations.
The first reason I am running for school board would be to protect the pure. Arizona fights for the bottom regarding how we care for our foster children. We have had this title for at least the last two decades. Foster children will be the poster children for this nationwide perverted agenda because foster children want to be accepted and loved by a family.
Second, is the need for academic excellence. We need to refocus our efforts while keeping the main thing which is getting back to teaching academics. Beginning with reading, because reading affects every aspect of a student's successful future. Economic studies have shown that poverty levels increase when we do not have basic reading skills. PUSD in the last report card showed a 40% reading level, this is a failing grade.
One of the first things I would like to work on when elected to the school board is to take the same successful curriculum (ex Hillsdale, Spalding ) we are using at our district traditional school and pilot such a curriculum. Using already successful strategies in implementing the curriculum, I would also have the administration take a hands-on approach to ensure they are working directly with the grade level teachers collaboratively aligning curriculum to state standards and then following up with checking in with teachers monthly or as needed for them to have the support they need. This will give the district a clear picture as to what supplemental materials we can justify adding to enrich the student's learning experience, keep spending down, and take the time needed to use the curriculum to its fidelity.

2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue.

Title IX Biden Administration re-write; We need to sue the Biden administration and protect our girls.
DOE issued social worker certifications- We do not need unlicensed social workers in schools doing psychotherapy on students. I will get rid of social workers and have a trained licensed professional teach of counselors, social workers, behavioral specialist for school needs. We do not need clinics on campus I will create a list of resources for parents to have available for staff to give to parents.

3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe parents and students should have a right to choose. It also makes education more competitive thus creating better educational resources for students to fit their individual needs.

4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing?

Parents or Guardian (grandparents)

5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not?

No, I believe we create more hate and racism when we promote racist ideologies.

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?

“Comprehensive Sex Education”, “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”, and “Social Emotional Learning have no place in public education. Maybe if others feel they need this they can fund these types of schools and not the taxpayers.

7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected?

As stated previously, keeping the main thing the main thing as it pertains to academic excellence we will refocus our efforts and get back to teaching academics. Beginning with reading, because reading affects every aspect of a student's successful future. Economic studies have shown that poverty levels increase when we do not have basic reading skills. PUSD in the last report card showed a 40% reading level, this is a failing grade.
One of the first things I would like to work on when elected to the school board is to take the same successful curriculum (ex Hillsdale, Spalding ) we are using at our district traditional school and pilot such a curriculum. Using already successful strategies in implementing the curriculum, I would also have the administration take a hands-on approach to ensure they are working directly with the grade level teachers collaboratively aligning curriculum to state standards and then following up with checking in with teachers monthly or as needed for them to have the support they need. This will give the district a clear picture as to what supplemental materials we can justify adding to enrich the student's learning experience, keep spending down, and take the time needed to use the curriculum to its fidelity.

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?

Yes Absolutely. I have been actively involved in doing so from the boardroom podium over the last year and a half.

9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today?

Yes 100%. The Title IX Biden Administration re-write will not protect our girls as it was originally written but will allow boys in girls' bathrooms, and locker rooms, take away scholarships for our girls and everyone from a teacher, child, staff, and parent will be committing "sexual discrimination if they do not use the correct pronouns.
Not to mention the fact that it takes away the freedom of religion of others who do not agree with this ideology.

Abe Hamadeh- Rep candidate for congress,
Shelli Boggs- Candidate Maricopa School Superintendent,
