Questions & Answers

1. What is the most important changes you would like to see in your district and why?

As a start, there are three areas I would focus on initially as a Board member for the District:
1.) Improved communication regarding curricula, planning, and policies: For example, I would build on the State's requirement for "Local Control and Accountability Plans" by offering more clear and readable companion versions that engage the public more effectively. I would utilize my experience with the Marinwood CSD in public outreach to more effectively keep the public informed.

2.) Strategic Planning and Vision: I have engaged in two public strategic plans for Marinwood and two for the SF-Marin Food Bank and would use that experience to chart a sustainable vision for the Dixie School District's future. Our children are educated well but I believe we can do better.

3.) Smart Management of Measure C funds: As a professional architect, I would utilize my experience to make sure our Measure C funds are well-spent. The District's facilities need improvements and the Board would benefit from the construction and project management knowledge I have to share.
