I would be honored to be given the opportunity to again participate in collaborating with other board members. My overarching goals would be to focus heavily on student academic achievement, fiscal responsibility, and communication within and across the district.

What role should the school board play in curriculum development?
The school board should provide oversight and accountability for curriculum while allowing qualified educators to make day-to-day instructional decisions. Its role should include adopting curriculum aligned with Arizona academic standards, reviewing student-performance data, approving instructional materials through a transparent process, and ensuring that parents have meaningful opportunities to provide input. The board should also ensure that curriculum is academically rigorous, age-appropriate, fact-based and accessible to students with different learning needs.

I feel Show Low Unified School District’s three most pressing issues are: 1. Recruiting and retaining qualified employees. As a rural district, Show Low competes for teachers, bus drivers, substitutes, and support staff. I would prioritize competitive compensation, benefits and professional development, before adding administrative positions. 2. Student achievement and support. The district must continue improving reading, mathematics, graduation readiness and special education. The budget should protect classroom instruction first—effective teachers, manageable class sizes and intervention programs. 3. Financial sustainability amid uncertain enrollment and funding.

Plans to use conservative enrollment projections and maintain reserves to address funding uncertainty.

Prioritizes classroom instruction, including effective teachers, manageable class sizes, and intervention programs, in the district budget.

Decisions should be guided by state requirements, reliable research, measurable student outcomes, teacher expertise, and be a responsible use of district funds. The board should not micromanage individual classrooms or replace the professional judgment of teachers and administrators. Instead, it should establish clear expectations and ensure that every student receives a high-quality education.

Prioritizes competitive compensation, benefits, and professional development for teachers and other staff before adding administrative positions.

Opposes board micromanagement of classrooms or replacing the professional judgment of teachers and administrators.

Said proportionate-share services should reflect federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act funding, accurate student counts, and meaningful family consultation.

Supports ESA students participating in district athletics when legally permitted and subject to the same requirements and transparent cost-based pricing as other students.
