1. Compensating and Retaining Quality Staff. Our teachers are the backbone of our educational system. To provide the best education for our students, we must prioritize compensating and retaining quality staff. I will work to ensure that our educators are fairly compensated for their hard work and dedication, and create initiatives to support their professional development and growth within our district.



2. Addressing Student and Staff Mental Health: Mental health is a critical component of a student's well-being and success. I will advocate for increased resources and support services to address the mental health needs of both our students and staff. By promoting a positive and supportive environment, we can foster a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed.



3. Providing Quality Educational Services for Students with Special Needs: Every student deserves an equal opportunity to succeed. I will prioritize providing quality educational services for students with special needs by working to enhance our special education programs, increase resources, and ensure that all students receive the individualized support they require to reach their full potential.



4. Targeting Truancy, Enhancing School Attendance: Truancy is a significant barrier to student success and academic achievement. I will collaborate with families, schools, and community partners to implement effective strategies to address truancy and promote regular school attendance. By fostering a culture of engagement and support, we can help students stay on track and achieve their academic goals.
