Let’s finish what we started.
EDUCATION
-
We’ve made bold, equity-driven decisions like detracking and expanding pre-K, and now we must stay laser-focused on ensuring those investments deliver joyful, rigorous learning experiences for all students.
We made the courageous move to detrack classrooms—an essential step toward equity. Now, we must ensure those classrooms are rigorous, joyful, and responsive to student needs.
We’ve doubled the size of our pre-K program—because early learning significantly changes outcomes. We must make sure that investment delivers for our youngest learners, especially those from historically marginalized groups.
Academic excellence and equity are not opposites. When we do this well, Shaker becomes a model for what public education should be.
IMPLEMENTATION
-
From passing the largest capital campaign in district history to holding the district accountable through KPIs, I bring the experience and focus to ensure that plans are implemented with fidelity—on time, on budget, and with students at the center.
I led the passage of the largest capital campaign in our district’s history. We’re beginning construction at Woodbury, and I will continue to ensure our projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with transparency.
As board president, I championed the use of KPIs to measure what matters. Implementation isn’t just about good ideas—it’s about following through.
I believe in working in partnership—with the city, the library, and families—to ensure every Shaker student has what they need to thrive.
SUSTAINABILITY
-
From crafting a community-informed strategic plan to passing the operating levy this fall, I am committed to ensuring our resources align with our values so we can keep delivering on the promise of public education in Shaker.
I will lead the development of a new strategic plan that sets clear priorities and aligns our budget with what our students and community say matters most.
State-level policies deeply affect our schools. I stay engaged and advocate to protect what makes Shaker strong.
This fall’s operating levy is about maintaining great schools. I’ll work to ensure it’s built on trust, transparency, and a clear vision for what’s next.
