What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it?
At the moment the top issue seems to be Covid related. I support the current district policy of making decisions building by building instead of a blanket, district-wide policy. If a building reaches a 6% positivity rate a mask mandate goes into effect for a period of two-weeks to be re-evaluated at the end of that time. There are also testing options in effect that are designed to keep students in school in the event they come in close contact with an individual who tests positive. I am in favor of policies such as these that are designed to offer the best and safest learning/teaching environment for students and staff.
What would your top 3 policy priorities be?
1. Advocating for adequate funding
2. Providing mental health support for staff and students - covid related
3. Balancing safety of staff and students with parental concerns
