QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Science proves that a unique, separate, human being is created at the moment of conception.

What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?

Be supportive of the student talking with her parents/guardians about the pregnancy. If the student continues attending school throughout her pregnancy; counselors, teachers and staff need to be supportive and work with her to continue her education.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Freedom of religion and standing by our personal/religious convictions is a right that is affirmed in our Constitutions.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?

It is in having an educated society that we all benefit. Post high school should be up to the individual as well as the costs.


EDUCATION

Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Strongly Disagree

Nothing should ever be done in secret, without parental permission. Any decision for medical care needs to be made by the parents.

Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Strongly Agree

Rules in place need to be enforced fairly and firmly.

Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.

Strongly Agree

Instruction and discussion on America's founding documents need to be done from a position of how this makes The United States of America unique. To be thoroughly versed on where the ideas for our founding documents came from. Prior to graduation students should also be required to take and pass the US Citizenship test.

I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Strongly Disagree

ALL people need to be respected. Promotion should come from merit.

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

Strongly Agree

The US Department of Education is NOT enumerated in the powers/duties of the Federal Government; please see the US Constitution.

Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): American History, Art & Music, Civics, Critical Race Theory, Foreign Language, Gender Identity, Information Technology, Language Arts, Mathematics, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, Political Activism, Science, Sexuality, Social Emotional Learning, Vocational Learning

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.

Strongly Agree

Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?

Equality of opportunities.

(A) Opt-In with NO repercussions for non-participation. This is the responsibility of the parents.


2ND AMENDMENT

Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.

Strongly Agree

Murderers most often seek out soft targets (place where firearms are not permitted). We secure/defend our banks and airports (and even many stores) with armed security, ...are our children not more valuable?


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.
