EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
Functions: Choose and support an effective superintendent. Work collaboratively to set policies that improve the educational environment. Provide oversight as to the performance of school district. Listen to district constituents.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The team of educators.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
All but the time allotted for public comment or by invitation.
Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): Mathematics, Information Technology, Science, Political Activism, Personal Finances, Gender Identity, Physical Fitness, American History, Critical Race Theory, Language Arts, Art & Music, Vocational Learning, Sexuality, Foreign Language, Social Emotional Learning
There are already omissions in the list. Curriculum and instruction should be determined by the team of educators at each school. There is no way to accurately rank the priority of different content areas.
American civics education should emphasize our nation's founding principles of liberty and equality.
Agree
The ideas and documents of our founders have been modified and are continually evolving. Original principles and intentions are an important part of the social studies curriculum. Through logical, objective discussions that include historical context, students learn to develop independent viewpoints.
Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.
Agree
An opt-in policy for parents should be available for any controversial curriculum material.
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Neutral
Each district must balance its financial needs with the perceived influence of the federal government.
I support the teaching of curricula (such as the 1619 Project, No Place for Hate, Second Step, etc.) that emphasizes slavery and racism as the foundation of American history.
Neutral
Curriculum should be established by educators of the local district.
Parents are the ultimate authority in their child’s education and should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child.
Strongly Agree
Parent choice is always an option.
VALUES

Choose not to answer.
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Choose not to answer
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Choose not to answer.
If you support the teaching of Sex Ed, please answer the following question: Sexual education should include these topics (list all that apply and add your own, if needed) -- Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; sexual orientation and gender identity; human anatomy/the reproductive system; abortion methods and side effects; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; sex acts and pleasures of sex
Choose not to answer.
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Choose not to answer

Choose not to answer.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I have no political affiliation and am willing to perform public service with integrity and commitment.

Strongly Disagree
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
