Ours is an exceptionally successful school district, in a community which cares deeply about quality education and which demands accountability. It has been my privilege to serve on the Lake Oswego School Board. There have been great challenges and great rewards but there is much left to be done.
- We must balance the budget during these difficult economic times, fight for our fair share of state and federal resources, and back important legislation suiting the needs of our district.
- We must craft policies which promote the sound values of our community.
- We must protect our children as we nurture a learning environment which encourages and stimulates success for every student, now and in the future.
