Questions & Answers

1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

I would review the proposed funding for various educational programs, review them with parents, teachers and other interested groups and then set priorities on funding these programs. From time to time I will meet with these groups to review the effectiveness of the programs, review any modifications that may be needed to make the programs more costeffective.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

Diversification in educational programs is a good idea if there is adequate funding available to implement those programs. However, in the event of tight budget, the District should primarily focus on basics that would benefit most of the students and not just few of them.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

I really would not know until I get on the District Board and have opportunity to review the budgets and various programs currently implemented by the District.
