Choose not to answer
This is not under the purview of my school board candidacy.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
This is not under the purview of my school board candidacy.
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?
Public education (K-12) needs adequate funding; government should take less of a role for college funding -- the private sector/colleges should take this role.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree

To oversee the operations of public education and be responsive and accountable to parents and community.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Joint effort with school boards and schools, and with comment input from parents and community.
