I am the mother of three children, two of whom attend David Douglas Schools. I am a member of the PTA, and head up a clothing closet at Cherry Park Elementary school for families in need of assistance (I would love to see this happen throughout the district!). I have had a student in the district for the past 7 years. As a parent of students in the district, I have made it a point to try to be of use to the staff and students by volunteering at school functions and making myself available to teachers for classroom help.
My experience with the district has been positive from the very beginning. I have immense respect for all the work that goes into educating our children, including the fiscal requirements needed to do so. David Douglas has proven to be fiscally responsible and maintains many programs other districts lack. I would like to be elected to the Board so that I can join in the good work going on and contribute to maintaining programs and services for the families of our growing district.
