Agree

It is not the school's place to interfere with any kind of issue that should be handled between a child and their parents, including helping them with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy. Parents have the right to transparency and communication in all things from their child's school.

Strongly Disagree

Mandating that teachers go against their moral or religious beliefs undermines individual freedom and sets a dangerous precedent for state control over personal thought and expression. A free society respects diversity of belief, especially in matters as personal as education and values. ALL updated curriculum should be readily available to view, and nothing should be kept secret from parents. Education should inform, not indoctinate.

Strongly Agree

When individuals are free to own property and run businesses, they have the incentive to work hard, invest, and create value within our society. This not only drives personal success, but also leads to more choices, better products, and stronger communities. History shows that economies that protect these rights tend to be more prosperous, dynamic, and resilient.

I believe publicly funded schools can be an incredible tool, but a truly free society should allow families the choice to educate their children through private options, and not be forced to rely on state run systems. Education thrives best when driven by voluntary exchange, competition, and innovation. I believe that College shouldn’t be publicly funded, because adults should be responsible for their own education choices, and we should encourage students to pursue trades when possible.

Strongly Disagree

Schools should stay focused on academics and leave sensitive issues like abortion and gender identity to families, not government-funded partnerships with outside providers. Using public education to promote particular medical or ideological perspectives risks overstepping the proper role of government and infringing on family and community values. Parental rights must always be respected, and families should seek outside guidance according to their own beliefs.

Agree

A strong, well rounded discipline of study is essential for student learning because it encourages critical thinking and personal responsibility. Education should empower students to explore knowledge freely, and should not limit their intellectual growth. We also need to let kids be kids, at times, and should set aside time for playful creativity, which helps to stimulate the mind.

Agree

I fully support teaching America’s founding documents. They’re the foundation of our liberty and limited government. However, patriotism shouldn’t be forced; schools should teach students to think critically, understand our history, and form their own views about what it means to be an American.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in treating everyone equally and with respect, but too often, DEI programs promote political agendas, divide people by identity, and undermine merit. Inclusion should mean protecting individual rights and free expression, not enforcing one size fits all ideology in our schools or workplaces.

Agree

I fully support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and returning control to states, local communities, and families. Education works best when it's closest to the people it serves, not dictated by distant federal bureaucrats. As a school board candidate, I believe in local control, parental rights, and policies that reflect our community’s values, not Washington’s agenda.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely agree. Please see previous responses.

I believe students should have equality of opportunity, where everyone has a fair chance to succeed based on their own efforts and abilities. Trying to enforce equality of outcomes often leads to unfair government control and reduces personal freedom. True fairness means removing barriers, not guaranteeing identical results.

I firmly believe that (A) Opt-In parental consent should be required.

Strongly Agree

Our schools are too vulnerable, and we keep seeing mass shootings, with no recourse, and little action taken to put safeguards in place to protect our children. I think that we seriously need to focus on how we can prevent these tragedies from occurring, in the first place. The best defense against a bad guy with a gun is an armed person, on site, ready to take action. I 100% agree that, with proper training, vetting, and protocols in place, we can keep kids safe and make criminals think twice!

Strongly Disagree

I believe health decisions, especially involving potentially dangerous vaccines, should be left to individuals and families, not mandated by the district. Schools can offer guidance and options, but government overreach into personal medical choices sets a dangerous precedent, as we saw during the Covid pandemic.

No.

No.

I value free enterprise, voluntarism, and neighborly good. Parents have the ultimate authority over their children, should be involved in every step of their child's schooling, and have clear communication with schools. I believe in the goodness of people, and that we can have foster an environment that is conducive of conversation that primarily focuses on our shared beliefs, rather than the areas where we may disagree.

I believe that sexual education is primarily the responsibility of parents, as it is a highly sensitive topic that can be easily miscommunicated when not handled appropriately. Determining the right time to introduce various aspects of this subject is challenging, as it depends on a child’s age, stage of development, and personal experiences.

I believe that the only portions of sexual education that should be taught in school are abstinence, consent, reproductive system, stages of pregnancy/fetal development.

Strongly Agree

Children should not so much as be exposed to the idea that there is something wrong with the way that their bodies were made, at school. It is not the place of anyone in the school system to address these concerns, and if there is ever an issue that comes up, parents have the right to be the first party to be informed of such issues.

Strongly Agree

Children should never be exposed to age inappropriate content, in any form. This shouldn't have to be explained.

Neutral

Strongly Agree

100% agreed! As long as children are safe, fed, clothed, and healthy, parents should be allowed to raise their children according to their beliefs.

Strongly Agree

These records should be updated and complete, readily available, at all times. Parents should be involved in their children's counseling decisions, as well.

Disagree

Strongly Agree

Sports (except co-ed), bathrooms, prisons, etc., should be separated by sex.
