Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

I am a parent of a student at Metropolitan High. I have been a registered nurse for almost thirty years and I have been a school nurse for almost ten years serving able and disabled children and families. I have advocated for my daughter and other children with the support of the elected school board. I believe in magnet school quality education for all our students.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (50 word limit)

- Take monies from Obama's Bailout funds and restore lost programs and services to the schools. For example, after school programs, after school transportation social services, advanced studies and placement supports

- Support teachers and teaching staff in a living contract that supports their employment and profession. Support parents and children as a unit, not child versus parent. Parental support to include community school resources, Parent-liaison and outreach workers--respectful of each parent's level, style and needs as a result of support for the students.
