As a future School Director, I am most excited about the prospect of visiting with teachers, administrators, and most importantly, parents, about their experiences with KSD. I promise to listen first. I promise that your concerns will inform my decision making.
As a candidate, I am most concerned with trends I see in our nation, as well as in our state, that diminish parental rights. I am running for school board primarily because I want to be certain we have someone on the board that will protect those rights. Parents should be fully informed of their children’s activities while they are away at school. I will work tirelessly to ensure that this is the case in Kennewick School District.
I believe that high school graduation is a jumping off point rather than a culmination. Schools exist to educate students in core curricula such as math, science, reading and civics so that they can be prepared to enter the work force or attend college or technical school. Our community only benefits from well-prepared graduates.
We have seen evidence in Kennewick schools, even before COVID, that student engagement is down. Students learn differently these days! We need to engage our students in learning differently than we did when you and I were growing up. We need classrooms with distinguished teachers who value student voice and who encourage students to lead out in their own learning. Student-led learning is engaged learning!
I believe profoundly in the power of collaboration and am looking forward to working with other members of the school board to ensure Kennewick School District’s continued success.
Leading up to November’s election I will be posting about my qualifications, endorsements, views on how to build upon KSD’s already strong foundation, how to join my team, and what I have done already as a candidate. But, you don’t need to wait! If you have questions, feel free to reach out by commenting below or through messenger.
