Vision and Commitment
My daughter, an 8th grader at Lipman Middle School, comes home from school inspired and excited. She says her teachers are "excellent," "couldn't be better", and has thought-provoking and interesting homework. Her enthusiasm for school feels like a gift. I am motivated to support and further enable such excellence in our District.

I have visited our district classrooms and have seen students working collaboratively, solving problems, being active and focused within the classroom. I can see elements of Highly Effective Teaching and the Common Core Standards being incorporated into a forward-thinking and effective model. I want very much to support our teachers and principals on this journey by bringing my skills and background to the Trustee role. As a School Board member, I would support the District's commitment to making certain that our teachers have the tools and training to fully realize their goals. It is, above all, about the teacher-student relationship and the growth and inspiration that can come of that bond.
