Why are you a better choice than your running mates? How will you deal with school overcrowding? What do you think is the solution to equity for poor students? Which schools in county are under Title 1 & explain what Title 1 means.
Children are the future of our nation. Teachers are soul engineers of our children. We must ensure quality education for all children. Our next generation needs to be well prepared for future achievements. I am running for BOE to lift up all children to reach their full potential!
For the overcrowding, I will work with the BOE and the superintendent to request the county fund the High School 13, so that students don't have to be redistricted twice. couple of years ago, the board decided to wait on any High School redistricting util HS13 was done. If we have some extra resource, we should make sure those resources used more efficiently and make sure no one to suffer.
