What is the function of the local school board?
The school board is responsible for creating the vision for the school district, oversight and accountability of the administration and putting in place policies that help students learn and teachers instruct. I am committed to fulfilling a school board trustee’s responsibility of oversight of our administration. Our administration must shift the focus to prioritizing the support of our teachers and students to keep CISD’s Tradition of Excellence. And as a Chapter 49 (Robin Hood) designated district, we have to be mindful to assure budget expenditures are spent wisely and appropriately. Responsible board oversight is vital to identifying and eliminating wasteful spending. Lastly, any policy that is passed must benefit all students.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Our Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction reports directly to our Superintendent. The Superintendent serves at the will of the School Board. The School Board is an elected body representing the voters in the district. So therefore, the voters have the ultimate right to set, determine and/or challenge curriculum used in our school district.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that the only way to the Father(God) is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. I believe we are all sinners and need God's forgiveness. I believe Jesus desires to have a personal relationship with each one of us. I believe that the Bible is Gods Holy Word. I believe that God is a God of love and grace. When we confess our sins to Him, he is faithful to forgive. Because of all that Jesus has done in my life, I desire to serve Him and honor Him through serving my family and my community.
Why are you running for this office?
With two children currently in the district, I want to continue my service to the community in this capacity as I believe it is my civic duty. I have a consistent demonstrated passion to serve the youth in this community. Over the last decade, I have mentored, coached and taught hundreds of Southlake’s children in various youth programs. I’ve served a seven-year tenure on the Board of Directors for Dragon Youth Football, served as Odyssey of the Mind Volunteer Coach and am currently the President of the North Texas Football League. I believe CISD’s commitment to excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, programs for gifted and talented students and children with learning differences makes CISD the best school district in the state of Texas. Continuous improvement in all of these categories is possible and necessary to ensure the best and brightest future for our kids and our district.

In addition, as a member on two local program boards, I will bring an immediate understanding and respect for the governance aspect of board participation, placing particular emphasis on the importance of open and transparent communication. Finally, having led numerous youth athletic and academic teams in this community, I have worked directly with hundreds of CISD students and understand the importance of building relationships with parents to instill trust.

And as your voice on the CISD School Board, I will never stop fighting to ensure our budget and operations are managed soundly and responsibly, our practices are conducted transparently, and our student’ best interests are at the forefront of everything we do. I am committed to ensuring our outstanding teachers receive the support and resources they need, our parents’ voices are heard and our students have access to the best education possible.
