| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board? | My kids are in these schools, and the Palm Beach County school district is failing to educate kids. 38% Math proficiency is heartbreaking. |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue. | The school board is not focused on academic excellence and allows the administration to run the district. I am on a mission to save our school district and get our schools back on track. I'm an Aerospace Engineer who will advocate for the teachers, students, and staff and not for more wasteful district spending. |
| 3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not? | Yes. Parents are responsible for their children's education and should be allowed to send them where they can get the highest quality of education. |
| 4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing? | Moms and Dads. |
| 5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not? | No. Our founding fathers, the true American Patriots, founded America! |
| 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? | It is a complete waste of time, money, and resources. We have three years of data that shows none of that works. |
| 7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected? | Streamline operations, reduce overhead costs, and reallocate funds so teachers can earn liveable wages and we can attract and retain the best teachers. Remove all political agendas from the schools. Remove all diversity programs and put the money toward teacher salaries. |
| 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 have two teenagers, my son and daughter. I would never allow either of them to be in the same bathroom, locker room, or hotel room on a field trip with the biological opposite sex. |
| 9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today? | It's more than a belief. The school police department and principals do not report most cases they are more concerned with their political agendas. |
| 10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them. | We are about six months from election day, and most organizations will start endorsing likely in June. |
