Lake Oswego schools have set the standard for public schools in Oregon for decades. I am running for the school board because I want to build on the tradition of strong academics that define our community and finish the job of reaching a 100% graduation rate.
As your board member I will:
- Strengthen trust in the district and school board through communication and transparency
- Create partnerships with local government for the benefit of all
- Secure a safe place in our schools for all students through diversity, equity, and inclusion principles
- Provide budget and project discipline as bond and levy resources are deployed throughout the district
To prepare students for success in a changing global economy, we need to be inclusive and welcoming for all families, make programs like STEM accessible and ensure that teachers and schools are prepared to meet the needs of all students and learning styles.
I am ready to be your voice and serve you through the triumphs and inevitable challenges that lie ahead. Only together can we build the world class school district that we all want for our children and community.
I am asking for your support, and I am committed to listening to all voices and representing the students and community we serve in Lake Oswego.
