Welcome friends and neighbors! Thanks for checking out my campaign website!

I am running for the Madison County School Board because I love helping young people develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue their dreams and be prepared to meet future challenges. Madison County Public Schools (MCPS) has traditionally aimed toward this same goal, but in recent years has faced significant funding losses that threaten its excellent schools and the futures of our young people and county.

Over 34 years in education has taught me that community collaboration is the foundation of building, sustaining, and restoring the health of our schools. As a School Board member, I will be committed to supporting this county’s excellent public schools by collaborating with all stakeholders—parents, teachers, administrators, students, and local employers—to ensure that all perspectives and needs are considered in financial and programmatic decisions affecting our children.

Great education should prepare students to be able to live and work where they were raised or elsewhere if they choose. MCPS currently offers excellent pathways to do this, but as funding for public education continues to decrease each year, it is essential that experienced and knowledgeable educators participate in programmatic and financial decision-making to sustain the well-being of our education system. As a former administrator and teacher in under-resourced public schools, I bring a practical and seasoned perspective to analyzing and addressing the complex economic and social challenges currently faced by our county’s public schools.

I love this community and want to ensure our young people's and county’s futures by sustaining our excellent public schools. If you believe that the Madison County School Board needs members with decades of on-the-ground experience in public education, please elect me to the School Board.
