Keep EVERY Student Moving Forward. It's just as important to keep flourishing student engaged and challenged as it is to bring the struggling student to grade level proficiency. It doesn't matter where a student comes from, or what a student's parents do for a living. With our great teachers and the proper support at home and in the community, any child can achieve.

We Need to Get the Basics Right. Regardless of what initiative you get behind+ whether it be Common Core, Project Based Learning, Full Service Community Schools, Social Emotional Support, Class Size Reduction, Climate or whatever innovations develop over the next few years, overall educational excellence will boil down to getting the basics right+ putting first things first.

Education and Technology are the Great Equalizers. We live in an exciting time and are located at the center of one of the most vibrant economies in human history. At the same time, a vast achievement gap still exists. Technology, coupled with fantastic teachers, can help put a huge dent in this country's wealth gap.

With your help, we can make the schools something we can all be proud of. I greatly appreciate your vote.
