Candidate for
Board Member; Woodside Elementary School District

Educational Excellence - Make Our Great School Even Better

• Expand best practice in differentiated learning to challenge and engage each student at a level appropriate to them.
• Thoughtfully explore how we use technology to support differentiated instruction, as well as to free teachers from rote tasks so they can focus on interacting with students.
• Support the ongoing transition to Common Core.

• Reflect these educational objectives in our new strategic plan and ensure they are properly resourced.
• Strengthen our budgeting process to better anticipate and model revenues and expenses.
• Develop policy on how to manage our expense base for uncertain revenues.

Ensuring that our school meets the diverse needs of Woodside requires listening to and learning from all members of our community.

I will work closely with the PTA and the Woodside School Foundation, as well as with other key stakeholders (town, church, library, business district) to find solutions.

I will remain an active participant in school and community activities, so that anyone with ideas or concerns can easily find me.
