QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Neutral
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Public education plays a vital role in society, providing an accessible education to all individuals regardless of socio-economic status or background. I support government funding because high quality public education empowers our kids to become critical thinkers, thriving citizens and economic contributors.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
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.
Agree
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
A school board is a governing body comprised of trustees who provide oversight and governance for the district. School boards are tasked with creating measurable student outcome goals and evaluating progress toward those goals. School boards adopt the policies and priorities that guide district actions, as well as hiring and evaluating the superintendent. Additionally, trustees are responsible for oversight of taxpayer dollars, setting the tax rate, and approving an annual budget which aligns with district goals and priorities. At a high level, the function of the board is to improve student outcomes while being a prudent steward of tax-payer resources.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The local school board should have the authority to set curriculum. The Superintendent makes those decisions which are then approved by the school board. Ultimately, parents should determine what resources are used with their children and should have the ability to opt their own children out of controversial curriculum, but not make curriculum decisions for the district as a whole.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Parents should not be restricted from speaking at school board meetings.
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
1. Math, 2. Language Arts 3. Science 4. American History 5. Art and Music, 6. Foreign Language, 7. Vocational Learning, 8. Physical Fitness, 9. Personal Finance 10. Information Technology. I would also add Civics to the list.
