The Platform

Classrooms come first

Supporting Our Community Schools

I spearheaded the charge to keep Hancock High School open. My goal is to maintain all of our community schools and not consider arbitrary closings to the detriment of our students and their families.

Enforce Standards

Every student at WCPS deserves the chance to thrive in a safe and secure environment. I fully support alternative consequences for disruptive behavior in order to support our teachers.

Equip Our Leaders

I fully support the hiring of our new superintendent. I pledge to continue to work with all stakeholders to make the transition successful for the benefit of all our students and staff.
