QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Agree
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
School districts should be able to use taxpayer money for lobbying the state legislature.
Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I believe government schooling from K-12 is pretty set in stone at this point, but that we will gradually start seeing more parents choose different options. And while I support states funding colleges in a way that is fiscally responsible, I think we need a big overhaul of the student loan system.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree
School districts should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Students should not be allowed to pray in school.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
To vote on and implement policies,curriculum and spending regarding the schools in the district.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Proposed new curriculum should be pulled from the FL Dept of education state approved list, as well as holding all votes on new curriculum at public meetings in the interest of transparency.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Absolutely never, as long as decorum is maintained.
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
