Academic Achievement

A strategy for improved academic scores must be clearly stated, aggressive and measurable. We can only achieve what we focus on and measure. Setting goals and establishing a shared commitment to reach milestones is a must. In 2021 the 10th grade math proficiency exam pass rates were: Coronado 8% | Arcadia 29% | Saguaro 37% | SOL 39% | Chaparral 40% | Desert Mountain 49%. We must do better for our students, and we can.

Equal Opportunity

Every child deserves an equal opportunity to achieve their greatest potential. Just as every child is unique, so is every child’s path to a successful life. While many will be college bound, others may desire careers that are better suited for trade schools or on-the-job training programs. It’s critical that every family has the resources and information they need to help their child make the best possible decision for his/her future.

World Class Education

As a school board member, I will be laser focused on ensuring we’re preparing students for future success in the workplace and community. Building top-notch programs for reading, writing, arithmetic, science, the arts, and physical education is critical to helping our students prepare for meaningful careers. Politics should have no place in our schools. Nor do controversial, indoctrination programs such as Transformative Social Emotional Learning or Culturally Responsive Teaching (the new cloaks for CRT).
