Personal Statement:
I have made it a priority to advocate for all students in the Corbett District and have researched solutions to various issues for parents. I can objectively listen to all sides of a discussion while keeping the students' best interests at heart. My extensive accounting background will give me a unique advantage in reviewing the cost analysis of concepts presented by the Administration.
As your board member I will dedicate myself to representing our community, not outside interests. I will take my responsibility seriously and respectfully listen to your concerns and carefully contemplate your viewpoints. I will make it a priority to promptly follow up with answers to your questions and comments.
As we move forward in this difficult economic time we will need to tap into our very resourceful community and really pay attention to what is working and not working for the sake of our kids. I would like to bring teachers, parents and the community together to solve our severe budget problems in open forums and online feedback in order to determine what is most important to you as we plan our school district's budgets for the coming years. In this way we will be able to pursue additional funding, minimize lost education tax revenues and prevent dramatic cuts that would affect our classrooms and the quality of the education our children receive.
I will help lead a diverse group of people to consensus to solve our problems and advocate for all Corbett Students.
