Candidate's Statement

I believe public education is critical to the health of our democracy and crucial for growing and expanding our local economy.  We prepare students to become self-reliant, socially responsible adults and do so in a way that you can be confident that we invest of your tax dollars in support of that mission.

As a Board Member, my focus has been on creating and sustaining the conditions essential for providing student access to high quality educational opportunities.  High performing school districts have strong and stable leadership, leadership that is professional in conduct, with high expectations for students and employees, and a flexible plan for growing and evolving as a public education provider—a plan anticipating the educational needs of today’s kindergarten students for life and work in  2033.

We have a strong education leader, respected for the professional, executive skills he brings to his role.  And we have a strategic plan—flexible and progressive.  But, strong school district leadership also requires a high performing school board—professional in conduct, using best business management practices, fiscally responsible, overseeing a strategic plan that is data and research based, and flexible in changing conditions.  Experience shows that stability in the governance team is crucial for community and staff confidence in the public education system.

Over the past three years, and despite demographically challenging statistics, the School District has increased graduation rates, raised student performance in English language arts and math at all levels, and made inroads into achievement gaps.

We demonstrated our commitment to the community when we pivoted quickly to provide shelter and safety to Lee County residents during Hurricane Irma.   We have done the same in the face of the COVID 19 pandemic—The Lee County School District plan is winning kudos from school leaders statewide.   

I want to continue my efforts to embed a culture of quality School Board leadership.  I want to be part of the conversation about how we will provide a sustainable source of financial support for high quality public education.   And, as a passionate supporter of the drive to improve quality pre-K and career and technology training, I want to work with community partners to accelerate our efforts to provide better outcomes for all students.

As your School Board member, I have been a critical thinker, problem solver, change agent and team player.  I value integrity, transparency, a growth mindset, high expectations, collaboration and accountability.  I am proud of my contributions to the work of the School Board and I believe my experience as a School Board member will continue to be a valuable asset on the governance team.
