“It is my hope that as an elected member of the Plum School District, Board of Directors, that I will be a voice at the table consistently asking how the decisions being made will affect all of our students, especially our most vulnerable. I want to create an accessible path for families to voice their concerns and promote a culture where parents and district work together to find creative solutions. I want to challenge and support our schools to look at the whole student when determining how to best provide their education. Each child possesses their own unique gifts, and talents. It is imperative that our schools provide ample opportunities and a supportive environment for these natural abilities to thrive. Our children deserve nothing less”.
