Positions

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

Good fiscal management means upholding a prudent approach to budgeting and expenditure that will establish a solid foundation to prioritize investments that directly influence student learning and achievement. Efficient and effective utilization of resources is a result of placing the welfare of our students first. We should also make sure that our teachers are compensated at a competitive wage rate and do not have to spend money out of their own pocket to buy supplies.

SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT

The Papillion-LaVista School District finds itself confronted with a critical concern that demands our immediate attention: stagnant student achievement test scores. To effectively combat this challenge, collaborative efforts must be embraced at various levels encompassing students, parents, educators. We can do this by staying focused on the essential curriculum.

TRANSPARENCY

Transparency includes every parent being able to look at the curriculum and lesson plans online. As your representative, every vote that I cast will be posted online, my cell phone number will be available to all citizens so they can contact me with questions, and I will host regular town hall meetings where I will provide updates on the School Board and we can have free and open dialogue.

UNBIASED EDUCATION

Make sure that every student receives a well-rounded, unbiased education. This should consist of the basics such as: Math, Science, and English as well as art, music, and physical education free from teacher prejudice and political viewpoints. It’s also important that we continue as a leader in skilled trades and continue to augment our life skills programs.

EMPHASIZE AMERICA

It is important that we retain and remember our cultural heritage as a country and a people. A profound sense of patriotism and an understanding of the principles our nation was founded upon instills pride and prompts a desire to strive for success and develop oneself into a leader in the community.
