Access to Education

Supports allowing students to attend class and complete assignments online when they are sick, traveling, or cannot be inside the classroom.

Said, "I believe we must be careful not to over utilize online learning. While technology can be a super advantage, it can also be isolating."

Said, "Common Core passed in 2010...The name changed from Common Core to Georgia Standards of Excellence, but there were no other important changes to revise Common Core. This could be one of the reasons why our schools' grades have fallen since 2014."

Said, "We must provide resources allowing our students to greatly increase Murray’s current average SAT score from 987 to 1200 or better, and to raise the average ACT composite score from 18.2 to 26 or better."

Believes students should be trained in tracking academic progress online starting in 8th grade.

School Curriculum

Said, "Every dollar allocated in the budget as an expense must be justified. We must not overspend or waste revenue dollars. It is the job of the Board Members to spend your money wisely and to avoid the burden of an increased millage rate adding an additional tax burden to the property owners of Murray County."

Believes there is a lack of technology available to the students.
