Our school system should not offer advice or advise on decisions concerning a student's pregnancy, regardless of the situation. However, we can offer assistance and support to the student by helping her navigate such difficult tasks like informing her parents/guardians.

Strongly Agree

It's a scientific fact that life begins at conception. At the point of fertilization a new organism is created which contains unique DNA that didn't exist before, which is, by definition, new life. The child's heartbeat, unique and independent of the mother, can be detected at around three weeks. As a Christian, it is my inherent belief that our Creator formed us in our mother's womb as a unique person at the time of conception.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise creates greater efficiency in producing goods and services by fostering competition. It also provides individuals the right and the means to control their own livelihoods. The overwhelming majority of people will work harder and with more dedication when benefitting directly from the results of their own efforts.

Pre-K should be included in basic public education just as K-12 is and provided by the government. Our students education should be a fundamental priority. A good foundational education is the basis of an economically strong country. Post secondary education or continuing education, as it stands, should not be part of government provided education.

Strongly Disagree

Our teachers should not be forced to teach any curriculum that violates their religious beliefs. Any mandated curricula that violates a teacher's moral or religious beliefs should be re-evaluated as part of our public education. If the questioned subject remains in the curriculum, then arrangements should be made for another teacher, or the principal, to teach that specific topic.

Strongly Disagree

Our schools have NO right to instruct, guide, initiate, suggest or in any way influence any student concerning pregnancy/abortion, social theories or gender ideologies. These topics must be wholly left up to the parents/guardians.

Strongly Agree

Discipline and the understanding of consequences for breaking rules are essential aspects of education. Teachers and parents/guardians must collaborate to ensure discipline is allowed/accepted and integrated into the learning process.

Yes

Taxpayers and parents/guardians should have access to all curriculum taught in our public schools. This includes textbooks, teaching materials, media center offerings, reference materials, and any outside information provided to support any subject.

Strongly Agree

An accurate and age appropriate education of our country's founding documents and history, good and bad, should be taught throughout public education. Our graduating students should be able to answer any civics question asked on the US Naturalization Citizenship test. We absolutely need to cultivate American patriotism and providing a thorough education of our country is a great starting point.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support DEI in public school education in any form, for students or teachers. DEI instruction has the potential to create reverse discrimination, and friction and adversity among classmates where none existed before. Additionally, these edicts suggest that certain segments of our student population cannot succeed solely on merit, which is both unfair and demeaning to those students. All children should be taught that they posses the ability to be successful.

Strongly Agree

Public education should be controlled at the state (and local) level. Our public education system must be a priority of the controlling body. The federal government was created to provide a national defense, establish a uniform justice system and promote unity of the states. Overtime it has grown and created over-reach into many areas, such as education, where it has no business.

Once a book challenge fails and the book remains in the media center, the waiting period before another challenge is accepted should be based on the school year. No book can be challenged more that once per school year. Any longer would suggest the board isn't responsive to new findings or concerns for rising students.

Strongly Agree

Educational funds should follow the student, allowing the freedom to choose the school that best suits him/her and presents the most successful outcome. Not only does this create a better environment for student success, it inspires a level of healthy competition between our educational facilities encouraging them to be better. Ultimately, allowing the dollar to follow the student could act as a drawing card for the best educators and school staff to the successful schools.

Equality of opportunities is the only viable choice. We will always create stronger, more confident graduates if we work toward building an understanding in each student that they posses the ability to be successful, based on their own merit and hard work.

(A) Opt-In should be required for all CSE type courses.

Review of any challenged books should be conducted by an outsourced community committee made up of parents and taxpayers.

I am a born again Christian who believes there is only one living God who sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. I believe the Bible is the God breathed living word. We cannot buy our way into Heaven with good deeds, but we are expected to do unto others as we would like them to do for us.

Strongly Agree

It should be criminal for any adult to encourage or allow any gender altering procedures to be performed on minors.

Sexual education should be taught no earlier than 12 years old or 7th grade.

Strongly Agree

I believe marriage a union between a man and a woman, as defined in the Bible and ordained by God.

Strongly Agree

Parents/guardians have an exclusive right to decide all aspects of their child's education, lifestyle ideologies, religious beliefs, morals and values, and healthcare.

Strongly Agree

Parents have exclusive rights to any and all records associated with their minor children. The only exception being restrictions imposed on the parent by a court of law.

Strongly Agree

Minor children should be protected from sexual grooming, by anyone, in any form, especially within the public school system.

Our school system has no authority to offer instruction of any sexual content, except the science of reproduction.

Strongly Disagree

Everyone exercising his/her right to vote should be required to present a photo ID. Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly.

Strongly Agree

Biological males should not be allowed to enter into any female only spaces, regardless of how the male is dressed or 'identifies'. Allowing any of these accesses creates unsafe environments for women by putting them in vulnerable situations. Biological males should not be allowed to participate in any female only sports as they are naturally stronger, which creates an unfair advantage.

No

No

Very Conservative

My conservative beliefs are guided by my faith and the clear division of right and wrong it teaches, along with a healthy dose of common sense and my love for our amazing country and it's citizens.

Strongly Agree

The right to bear arms, to protect ourselves and our families, is both a God-given right and a constitutional right. Our 2nd amendment rights were created to give the citizens of the United States of America the right to protect themselves against tyranny or any challenge to our liberties.

Strongly Disagree

I fully support medical freedom for both students and staff. Only parents have the right to determine the best course of action for their child in a pandemic situation, including potential consequences of opting in or out of precautions or treatments.
