Educational Priorities
As your Natomas School Board trustee, I have worked tirelessly to ensure our children are afforded numerous opportunities for academic success. As I run for re-election this November, I want all community members and parents to know my educational priorities as your Board member and why I deserve to be re-elected. These are not new priorities, but priorities I have fought for and continue to advocate for as your Board member. Under my leadership on the Board, Natomas has:
- Increased Test Scores and moved significantly towards closing the achievement gap,
- Highest Graduation rates in the County,
- Implemented new International Baccalaureate programs at Inderkum High School, Natomas Middle School, H.Allen Hight Elementary, and Paso Verde School,
- Expanded access to before and after School enrichment programs,
- Increase College Access by 75% in 7 years,
- Kept a Balanced Budget, while increasing salaries, and expanding programs that are proven to work,
- Lowered class sizes and implemented districtwide full day kindergarten and TK programs at every school, and
- Established safe, clean learning environments for all children.
The Next 4 years, I am committed to:
- Brining technology and the 21st Century into our classrooms
- Fighting to make sure every child feels safe on our campuses to concentrate on learning,
- Holding the District Accountable for expenditures that are tied to student success,
- Leading the effort to continue the District's open communication and transparency in advocating students' first
- Expanding new student College and Career Opportunities (e.g. I.B., Science, Engineering, Media, Culinary, Robotics and other programs).
I look forward to continuing my advocacy for ALL of our Natomas kids.
Honored to Earn Your VOTE!!
