Education is a defining value for me and my family. My wife Ruth is a 5th grade public school teacher and we are parents to two LOSD graduates and a freshman at LOHS.
I was elected to the school board in 2015, after serving our schools for many years as a classroom volunteer, member of the Schools Foundation board, and working on our levy campaigns.
Over the past four years we have made great progress
- Increased graduation rates to record highs
- Changed secondary start times to support student health
- Passed and began accountable implementation of the District’s first facilities bond in 20 years to update and rebuild our schools, providing safe, modern places for learning
- Provided more STEM curriculum and career/technical training
- Improved community outreach with a committee on diversity, equity, and inclusion, student board representatives, and town halls
I ask for your vote for re-election so that our school board team can move our community and schools forward by:
- Addressing student mental health and safety
- Improving student nutrition
- Continuing successful bond implementation
- Reaching towards 100% graduation rate
- Expanding elementary reading supports
