QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Strongly Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I would prefer to see a stronger shift of the government funding from the federal level to the state and local level. I believe this would allow for more local control and accountability. Federal money tends to come with strings attached.
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
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
The local school board's responsibilty is to provide the best educational opportunity possible for the students within its district. Board members are also responsible for making decisions regarding school district policies, personnel, textbooks and budgets. They also adopt a tax levy to support the maintenance and operations of all schools within the district. The board members are to hold the district accountable for all decisions.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
I believe the ultimate authority should be up to the parents in conjunction with district administrators.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
They should never be restricted to speak a school board meeting.
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
Language Arts, Mathematics, American History, Science, Physical Fitness, Arts and Music, Vocational Learning, Personal Finances, Foreign Language, Information Technology, Social Emotional Learning (if it is the classical SEL)
Which more closely matches your view of America's founding principles? A) Liberty and equality. B) Slavery and racism.
A) Liberty and equality.
What does "equity in education" mean to you?
I believe that Equity in Education means everyone should have the same opportunities available to receive an excellent education.
Written parental consent (opt-in) must be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Strongly Agree
Parents should always have the final say in any Sex Ed or SEL course that is being taught to their child(ren).
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Strongly Agree
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
School boards are accountable to parents and taxpayers.
Strongly Agree
Do you believe students should have access to materials that graphically depict and describe sexual acts?
No
All print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and died for our sins to give us eternal life. My personal morals and values are centered around the living word of God, the Bible. As a Christian, I live my life by our God given rules - the 10 commandments.
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
No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
Strongly Agree
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
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Only Parents should be the ones responsible for the decision of when and who should teach their children about Sex Education.
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
I do not support teaching of Sex Ed in schools without parental consent and the opportunity to review all materials that will be taught.
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voter ID is necessary to be able to vote.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Agree
This should be a voluntary option to teachers who are licensed to carry and have gone through proper training and mental health screening.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
No circumstances. Parents of minor children should be the decision maker in any and all vaccinations.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
All official open meetings should be live streamed, recorded, and have transcripts available online for public access.
Strongly Agree
All votes should be roll call votes and recorded in meeting minutes.
Strongly Agree
