QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
The school should educate the student on the importance of their actions and its consequences. The school guidance counselor should schedule a conference if needed with the student and parents to give them their information on other organizations that can assist them
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.
Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Government funding can be a crutch. This is what I'm against. Students should value their own education. I am not an advocate for alot of government assistance. I will advocate for college and high school classes that help students mature and manage their finances. Government funding should end with public education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
Teaching is a passion. I loved teaching math that's what I was hired to do. Let's focus on hiring passionate teachers. I wouldn't require anyone to do a job they were not skilled in and were only doing it to keep their job. Imagine the harm and confusion that would bring to students
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender transitioning providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
After the questionnaire deadline passed, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this question should have been ‘No. I am not an advocate for Planned Parenthood.'
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Strongly Agree
Do you believe print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review, including those without children enrolled in school?
Yes
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.

Disagree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree

Yes, until the next full school year

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
In the event of a pandemic, school districts can mandate whatever health precautions they deem necessary (including masks and vaccines) to protect students and staff.
Disagree
I cannot agree with this. The school board should have some guidance and accountability. The board needs to be held accountable. In the last Pandemic NO ONE knew what to do. None of us had ever experienced a Pandemic before. I suggest guidelines such has consulting some medical organization
