We must invest in our schools today to prevent bigger financial burdens in the future. We support a responsible plan for building projects that prioritizes student needs without wasteful spending. We will not use savings to cover deficits—we need long-term solutions, not short-term fixes. We will listen to financial experts and ensure that taxpayer money is spent wisely.

We support the district's "Life Ready Model" and its culture of belonging. The board’s decision to remove universal mental health screenings and switch to an opt-in model has made it harder for students to access help. We will work to remove barriers and prioritize student well-being. We will listen to experts, educators, and parents to ensure that all students have the support they need to thrive.

We may not always agree, but we believe in working together and putting personal agendas aside for the good of our schools. We should encourage open and respectful dialogue to find the best solutions for our district. There is more than one way to solve a problem, and we are committed to finding common ground.

The school board should be focused on improving education, not engaging in culture wars that divide our community. Every decision should be made with students' best interests in mind, not political ideologies. We will bring our qualifications and diverse experiences as a teacher, a social worker, a business owner, and a financial planner to tackle the real challenges facing our district.
