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

1. To provide more opportunities for parents, especially fathers, to be involved in their children’s academic and emotional development.
2. To review and outline a clear avenue for parents, professional staff, and our community to have a strong voice on policy decisions that are made by the board of education.

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

1. A disregard for open dialogue and transparency.
2. A lack of focus and investments that are counterproductive to the foundations (reading, writing, mathematics, and science) to advance the growth of the students.

1. I would reevaluate the policies and procedures to allow parents voice to be heard on all decisions.
2. I would access the policies and key issues that are not student centered and hinder the educational quality rooted against the fundamentals of education.

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

Yes, I believe every student and parent/guardian should have a voice in where they believe they will receive the best opportunity to a quality education and school that best matches their values.

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

The parent/guardian and student should be in control of their wellbeing. Parents rights should and cannot continue to be ignored and disregarded.

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

No, I believe America provides the best opportunity for everyone to achieve their goals and provide a place for civil open dialogue.

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?

I believe these concepts should be left to the parents and schools should be focused on the basic pillars of education.

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

Reading, writing, math, science will be my central focus on providing opportunities for students.

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?

I would protecting biological girls right to private spaces and ensure my voice is heard against any discussion that does not support this statement.

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

Yes! Protecting the rights for biological females is paramount issue and should not be diminished by alternative agendas.

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

Not yet. I did submit for an endorsement from Mom's for Liberty.
