I have been a Corbett resident for nearly 25 years and a graduate of Corbett High School in 1991. I am a father of 4 children; they will be involved in the Corbett School District for the next 18 years. Like you, I want my children to have a positive educational experience that builds depth into their character. I believe their school experience should be well rounded involving academics, arts, music, vocational skills, physical education and competitive sports.
We need transparency in the midst of the changes that are occurring in our school. I feel strongly that it is the school boards responsibility to foster an environment that welcomes and encourages community involvement. It is my goal to improve communication between the school board and our community. Being in the midst of challenging economic times has undoubtedly put additional burdens on our school system. I believe I can add a layer of creativity and innovation to help solve the issues that these challenges bring. I welcome your vote and any questions you may have.
