I am running for the Germantown Municipal School Board for the privilege of representing you and all families in Germantown as we work together to create a school system that will provide our children with an education that equips them for a life of choices and opportunities.
Academics is my top priority. In addition to the basic curriculum, we must continue and even increase our enrichment programs that encourage students to participate in creative and service-oriented activities, while, at the same time, emphasizing the importance of academics. We must offer a curriculum that educates the whole student, developing the capacity for inquiry, research, and problem-solving, as well as essential skills for communication and collaboration.
I believe that the School Board must establish a nurturing, safe environment in which our children can thrive, achieve high academic goals, and grow into caring, competent adults. We can do this, even in tough times, with detailed, thoughtful planning, careful, consistent oversight, and most importantly, the remarkable commitment of everyone in Germantown to the support of our schools and students.
I know how decisions are made and implemented at the school and system level, and have seen firsthand the importance of close community collaboration, and the power of effective teachers and administrators. Germantown’s students deserve leaders – whether in the classroom, the Superintendent’s office, or the School Board– who have extremely high expectations and who effectively partner with parents and families.
When measuring success, it’s not how much you spend—it’s how you spend it. I believe our best investment is in the education of our children. As a member of your school board, I will ALWAYS put the needs of our children FIRST!
