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

To protect our children of the community, in addition to being of service to our tax payers, providing the most transparent discussions possible.

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

Our current school board has a very difficult time saying NO to issues and items presented to them, even when they don't fully understand then topic - they have a history of voting YES any way. I will have no problem saying NO or Tabling a topic.

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

Yes,
We as citizens should be able to use our hard earned money, to educate our children the place and way we see fit.

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

Only one answer here.. The PARENTS.

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

I don't agree with this very divisive statement.
Anyone that uses that phrase is the racist.

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?

These items have no place in our school system. These items and topics are 100% political rhetoric.
This takes away from our primary purpose of the school system, Primary academics of Reading, Writing, Math, Science, History and physical education. Any distractions from our goal to properly educate our children should not be tolerated.

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

I have noticed a key data point in our area, the more money that is allocated to our school system, the lower the test scores go.
As a board member, I will get to the bottom of core issues that as causing this and share with the community, in addition to implementing solutions.
These issues are very complex and I look forward to solving them with our team!

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?

Simple,
Only 2 sexes exist, Male and Female. If other facilities are needed, they should be addressed as such, not pushed into the female facilities.
These facilities are birth certificate specific, this is why we need certificates to register for school. We need to protect our children, not expose them to more risk.

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

I believe Title IX is being miss-used and improperly characterized to push a political agenda, the current administration is currently attempting to re-write this law to benefit their agenda.
Further, in my opinion, title IX seems to have been created with good intentions, for woman's sports to be properly funded, however there are bad actors abusing this language at the moment and are trying to presently solidify their rhetoric into law. I vehemently oppose these actions.

10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them.

Homer Township Republicans.
