Neighbors:   

Last year I was appointed to the Central School Board; I have filed for election to the remaining two years of that unexpired term.

Having grown up in this area and gone to school here, I want to help our district move forward in the uncertain days ahead.

School safety, successful classrooms, and community partnerships are my priorities.

This is a time for tested leadership - a time for collaboration and the courage required to implement necessary change.

It is a time for innovation - a time for us to adjust to emerging needs and develop new tools for a new era.

And it is a time for us to strengthen community relationships - open dialogue and transparent procedures are always the best remedies.

Together we can keep our promise to the next generation. Together we will. This May 19th, I am asking for your vote - and your help.

  1. A commitment to refilling the reservoir of public trust - navigating change as a community
