A Clear Focus for Our Schools

Apple Valley schools are facing real challenges—budget uncertainty, staff concerns, and growing frustration from families. We don’t need more conflict or confusion.  We need steady leadership, clear planning, and a renewed focus on students.

My Priorities

✔ Fix the Budget—Responsibly

• Transparent, long-term financial planning

• No more short-term fixes that create bigger problems

• Clear communication with the community

✔ Protect Classrooms

• Prioritize students, teachers, and learning conditions

• Keep class sizes manageable

• Review spending before cutting programs that impact kids

✔ Rebuild Trust

• Improve communication with teachers and staff

• Encourage collaboration—not conflict

• Ensure decisions are made with input, not surprises

✔ Restore Professional Leadership

• Focus on solutions, not division

• Make decisions based on facts and student impact

• Bring stability and accountability back to the board

✔ Give the Community a Voice

• Increase transparency in decisions

• Make meetings and information more accessible

• Listen to families, staff, and community members

Why I’m Running

Our district needs leadership that is steady, thoughtful, and focused on doing the work the right way.

I’m committed to helping Apple Valley move forward with:

• Clear direction

• Responsible decisions

• A strong focus on students

The Bottom Line

✔ Strong schools need strong leadership
✔ Students must come first
✔ Trust must be rebuilt
