2. How would you define, and what is your position on culturally responsive teaching? Are there changes you believe are needed in your school district?
Our schools should strive to teach our students how to be informed and empathetic community members. Engaging families and community members to be involved strengthens our community and our students by expanding perspective, nurturing curiosity and creating connections.

3. What experience do you have participating in or negotiating contracts and bargaining with labor unions?
My experience in negotiations is limited to a stand alone school of staff and teachers. While we did negotiations, we were not involved with unions.

4. How would you involve parents, students, and community members — particularly from communities of color — in school policy considerations? Do you believe your school board has adequately engaged these stakeholders in the past?
Having not been a part of this board, I would need to gain an understanding of what has been done in the past. I believe that personal connection is a strong avenue to community, so I would like to engage with people within the schools to determine paths forward.

5. The Executive Branch of our federal government threatens to remove funding from schools that avow support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). In response, should school boards retract support for DEI, or attempt to maintain support? And why?
I strongly believe in the value and power of books. I have not read the proposed SB 1098, but do not support the banning of books.

6. Oregon Senator Lew Frederick has said “Discriminatory book bans in schools — and the censorship that goes along with them — undermine Oregon values, and prevent students from learning about the history, experiences, and viewpoints of all communities.” Do you agree? Do you support passage of SB 1098 as proposed by Senator Frederick?
