Thank you for electing me to a second terM!

School Board issues
discussed in one year:
I will focus on what Rochester Public Schools need to do to best serve students, families and the community.
​
I believe it is important for a school board member to have:
​
-
A method for asking questions and making decisions at the school board table.
​
-
An ability to have persuasive and productive conversations with other school board members and the administration.
​
-
A strategy for actively involving families and the community in supporting and shaping their children’s schools.
Decision-Making
As an education advocate, I already ask a lot of questions of the school board. Here’s some of the questions I will ask as a school board member, and I would encourage my fellow school board members to do the same:
​
-
What do we need to prioritize to best serve our students?
​
-
How do we evaluate how well our current programs and curriculum are serving our students?
​​
-
What are other districts and schools doing to be successful?
​​
-
What information do we need to share with the community so that they understand what is happening in our schools and in the decisions we are making?
​​
-
What information do we need to gather from the community to improve our decision-making?
​​
-
How do our programs and curriculum measure up in terms of student outcomes?
​​
-
What changes to our programs and curriculum do we need to consider?
​
-
What changes to we need to make to how we allocate our financial and personnel resources in the district?
​​
-
What support is needed from the Rochester community to improve our schools?
