Top Priorities if Elected
  • Board members have become increasingly isolated from their constituency in the past four years.
  • The Board's excessive expenditures on travel, district headquarters, and executive recruitment firms show fiscal irresponsibility.
  • I am running to open a closed system that is outdated for the 21st Century. The District needs to be responsive to private/public partnerships.
