My Top Issues
Invest in local public education
Public Schools are chronically underfunded. We need more resources in order to give every child what they need to thrive.
After school programs
We need to expand our after school options for working parents.
Special Education
We need improvements in Special Education, including increasing capacity, improving after-school and summer program access and expanding Multitiered systems of support (MTSS) across the district
