Education as Purpose

The school & board exist to help students, teachers & staff facilitate an education to prepare students to engage meaningfully with their community. I view all decisions first from the lens of, "how does this help the school serve the community?"

Pragmatic Rigor

We should be passionate in our purpose & dispassionate in our plans, always with an eye on the good we can achieve with our resources. I commit to rigor in my advocacy, & to seek information, ideas & advice when facts are sparse.

The Virtue of Value

I believe in investing resources to achieve results with value. Public education is a public endeavor, not a commercial exercise, & should be funded according to the mission. Resources managed wisely to achieve the most good, not only to reduce cost.

The Value of Virtue

Justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, health, kindness—all of these are worthy pursuits of a community in their own right. As a member of the District 121 School Board, I will seek to uphold & promote these values & see our institutions do the same.
