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

I want to make sure a counselor is accessible by any child at any time, and never denied. Recently, there was a little boy who was being abused at Home who is 10 years old and his counselor denied him for having a discussion together because there was no permission slip. What if that little boy was on his last grasp of Hope and was ready to kill himself? All he needed was that one person to talk to and he was denied. My second reason is I want to be there for the parents. I want to be the spokesperson for parents when they can’t I want to be able to Back them up, especially when it comes to the school Related issues.

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

For one like I said above, I want to be able to make a change when it comes to a counselor being readily available to children. And then two I want to be able to help with transportation issues. We have school buses for middle school and for the high school, but not for elementary school. Young children as young as five are walking on busy roadways without guidance, because sometimes parents have to go to work early. Or cannot get off to be able to pick up their children.

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

Yes, I do support School choice. The reason why I do is because I think every children has a different way of learning and for instance, if college isn’t right for them, maybe a trade school would be better or a certification.

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

The person who has the ultimate authority in the children’s education and well-being is the parent. This is why I want to run because I think parents have a hard time communicating and connecting with the school nowadays because the school has pushed parents off so much. I want to be able to get in there to help and get parents back into the School system.

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

I feel like this is a set up. America is not inherently racist I think there’s certain books and agendas where people make you think that.

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 do not believe any sexual education should be taught in our schools. In my own opinion, it’s wrong. Parents are the only people who should be teaching their children about that subject. Especially nowadays when we have so many confused individuals. If we had it in the schools, they would be grooming our children to be something that they’re not.

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 feel like with the decline that we have right now, it’s because we have too much filler BS and it’s being sent home to being taught. If the teachers would just stick to the facts and teach our children during the school day, they would probably have a better turnout.

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 think, without a doubt girls need to have their private spaces for instance, a girls locker room. They shouldn’t have to have the fear of anything potentially harming them mentally or physically. No left driven confused individuals should be around that setting at all. It’s not OK and it’s not right.

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

I feel like this title was put into place to be able to protect women against discrimination. Now it’s been turned into a joke because we have men pretending to be women and entering into women’s sports. Never, should this have been allowed.

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