Funding of education should occur at the most local level possible.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
Properly allocate funds in the best interest of the functioning of schools and to provide quality education for students, develop a vision or strategic plan that includes measurable goals and objectives relevant to the entire student body, make decisions about curriculum, and establish and maintain clear policies that can be used to hold administration and staff accountable in their positions.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Curriculum and resources should ultimately be set by the school board. However, parents, staff, and students should be key stakeholders in the process of adopting curriculum and materials, and their needs/attitudes/opinions should be considered.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Parents should only be restricted from speaking in school board meetings if they pose an imminent physical or verbal threat, or if it is determined that they are intending physical harm towards other(s).
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

American civics education should emphasize our nation's founding principles of liberty and equality.
Strongly Agree
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
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Agree
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.
Strongly Disagree
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
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Ultimately, parents are responsible for teaching sexual education to children. They should determine when it is to be taught. If parents are comfortable with offering that responsibility over to the schools to teach it, that is their choice.
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
Human anatomy/the reproductive system, physical and emotional health outcomes, stages of pregnancy and fetal development, abstinence
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.

No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent.
Strongly Agree
No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
Strongly Agree

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
As a former special education teacher and current Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I deeply value the individual needs of children and their families. Students deserve to learn in an environment free of identity politics, parents' rights must be respected and upheld, and we must take care of our teachers/staff members by ensuring they feel valued and participate in their profession as stakeholders.
