Position Papers
Transparency and Open Public Dialogue
The need for transparency and open-ended public dialogue with the school board is essential to our children's success. Immediately upon election, I will seek to rectify this problem at LJSD.
Smaller Class Sizes
Inflated class sizes are a detriment to our children's education. Young students especially need individual one-on-one attention. Large classroom environments particularly at the elementary school level, often impede the productivity of the teacher as well as the retention rate of the student. Smaller class sizes have been academically proven to enhance the educational experience of a child. This, I assure you, will be one of my greatest focuses should I be elected.
Greater Parental Involvement in District Policy Decisions
Increased parental involvement in all LJSD student policy decisions is essential. No one knows what is better for their child than a parent. Why should their education be any different? Increased parent participation at all LJSD meetings is what is needed. This is something I have advocated for in the past, and will continue to do so if I am elected.
