What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I believe government funding of public education is critical to the ongoing success of our students and communities. By focusing on public education, our state and local governments are investing directly in the well-being of our community and state. It is critical that our state legislature focus on the benefits of a fully funded public school system, including funding for special education and bond calculations.

When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Meetings must have an agenda and timeline to flow to ensure Board matters can be addressed. The Board agenda should provide for time to hear from parents and community members; however, in the event parents become abusive with their comments restrictions should be implemented. Civility, even when disagreement exists, should be exhibited by both parents and Board members.
