My Priorities for East Noble Schools

East Noble’s focus has to be clear and measurable: stronger academics, safer schools, and decisions our community can trust. That means the board must do more than listen to reports and approve recommendations. It must ask hard questions, look closely at results, follow the money, review policy, and make sure every decision is tied back to students and classrooms.

Academics First: Supporting Student Success...

Academics are my number one priority. Every student deserves strong skills in reading, writing, math, and critical thinking so they are prepared for the next grade, graduation, and life after East Noble. Strong school boards stay focused on student outcomes, regularly review academic performance data, set measurable goals, and make decisions based on whether they improve learning opportunities for students. That is the approach I will bring to the board.

I will support clear goals for reading, math, writing, and graduation readiness while also making sure students have meaningful opportunities to make the most of their time in our schools through strong instruction, hands-on learning, career pathways, extracurricular opportunities, and student support services.

We need regular data updates to understand what is working, what is not, and where students need more support. When considering new spending, positions, programs, or contracts, I will always ask how they support student learning, classroom instruction, interventions, student opportunities, and retaining quality staff. The board’s role is to ask thoughtful questions, review policy, provide oversight, and hold the district accountable to its goals while allowing educators to focus on teaching students.

Transparency and Accountability for Our Community...

The board is elected to provide oversight, not rubber-stamp decisions. Families, staff, and taxpayers deserve to know what is being approved, why it matters, how it impacts students, and how success will be measured.

I will push for clearer information before votes, more public discussion, and stronger oversight of spending, staffing, contracts, policies, and district goals. Accountability means asking hard questions early, expecting clear answers, and making sure decisions are focused on students, classrooms, and the responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

Student Safety Starts With Strong Systems

Student safety cannot depend on parents pushing for answers after something goes wrong. The board has a responsibility to make sure the district has clear expectations, strong policies, and real follow-through.

That means looking at how students are supervised, how concerns are reported, how families are notified, how incidents are documented, and whether patterns are being identified before they become bigger problems. It also means making sure staff are trained, boundaries are clear, and safety procedures are reviewed instead of only discussed after a crisis.

Safe schools are built through prevention, communication, accountability, and consistency. Families should be able to trust that when a concern is raised, it will be taken seriously, handled appropriately, and used to make the system stronger for every student.

 

Why These Priorities Matter to Me...

These priorities come from real life, not campaign talking points.

As a mom, academics are personal. I know what it feels like to question whether your child is being challenged, whether learning gaps are being caught, and whether the school is communicating clearly when support is needed. Parents should not have to piece things together on their own. The board should be paying attention to results and making sure students are getting what they need before they fall further behind.

Safety is personal, too. I have experienced what it feels like to question supervision, communication, and emergency response when my own child needed help. As a nurse, I am trained to look beyond the moment and ask what process failed, what was documented, who followed up, and what needs to change so it does not happen again. Our schools need that same level of seriousness.

As a community member, I care about trust. Families should not feel shut out of decisions. Staff should not feel unheard. Taxpayers should know the district is using resources wisely and keeping students and classrooms at the center.

For me, this is about raising expectations and doing the work to make East Noble stronger for every student.
