+++

“Since elected I have voted and fought to educate stakeholders and empower parents and communities in their desire for good education. Our students need education that will prepare them to be productive citizens. Basic skills with enhancement as they progress throughout Elementary school. Trades should be offered as well as academics. Parents should be motivated to participate and children taught HOW to learn.. Local control and knowledge of the goals of a curriculum should be the norm. Parents should be able to work with the system to make decisions about their own children’s education. Sexual education should be voluntary, age appropriate, and developed by a group of stakeholders. Pornography should never be a part of it.”
