As a school board member I pledge to you the taxpayers, to be a good steward of your money. I will work to find and rid us of excessive or needless spending. I feel the school districts have sufficient monies available, there just needs to be more prudence in the spending. Adding additional funding without making changes does not improve education, it simply makes it more expensive.

We need, as a district, to set and have definite goals, and in my opinion goal number one should be that all students in the Reynolds District will graduate with a high level of literacy.
