- Academic Excellence
-
Boards are responsible to create the conditions that will enable students to meet more rigorous knowledge and performance standards. I am passionately committed to help drive continuous improvement in the quality and breadth of education offered by our schools.
- The Role and Responsiblity of the Board of Education

In my view, the Board of Education has the responsibility to ensure high standards and expectations for all. We need to teach the mastery of skills: English language, math, science, history, and music. The best head start any child can have is rigorous instruction in reading and math.

-
My vision starts with a high quality, rigorous curriculum in English language, math, science, history, and music.
