Candidate for
Board Member; Reed Union School District

My 3 main priorities are:

1. To encourage best practices when implementing new processes

• I am committed to making decisions informed by the best possible evidence.
• This is crucial because the board will make difficult financial choices in the coming years.
• We need to be proactive and allocate funds where they have the most impact.

• In these difficult financial times, the board needs to invest time with input from the community to navigate these uncharted waters.
• We need to create develop scenarios for the likely possibility that revenues will remain flat while enrollment increases, as well as the possibility that the state reconfigures community funded school districts.

• All the evidence suggests that high performing teachers are crucial to student achievement.
• The effect of a good (or bad) teacher is measurable 2 years later.
• I am committed to exceptional teachers, and support fundraising efforts targeted specifically at supporting recruitment and retention of outstanding teachers.
