Julie believes in:

• Ensuring children are first priority.

• A strong academic curriculum that engages and challenges students at all levels:
  

1. Integrated learning across disciplines to give context in applying what children learn.

2. Teaching models that elevate thinking and problem-solving so our children become active thinkers, not passive sponges.

3. Social and emotional learning to prepare our children to be socially responsible, contributing people.

• An enriching, well-rounded curriculum that includes technology, music, physical education, and the arts.

• Attracting, developing, and retaining motivated, highly-skilled teachers.

• Finding a solution to school overcrowding that is best for the children.

• Using fiscal responsibility and accountability.
