What are the most pressing issues for the school district? What will you do to address these?
Financial Operating Challenges and Student Standardized Testing Performance are critical issues for District 381.
My objective, in addressing these issues, is to assure a primary focus on the delivery of high quality and effective education experiences for every student. These experiences must be delivered in a manner consistent with prudent financial management, fiscal accountability, shared sacrifice, mutual respect, and exceptional levels of student, family, administration, teacher, and community interaction. All these goals must be pursued with assurances district children learn in clean, safe and well-maintained facilities.
What qualities will you bring to the school board?
I have a proven track record working with Hopkins, MN School District #270 for more than 15 years, serving on numerous operating and fund-raising committees, coordinating certain community and school athletic programs (as President of the local 1100 member soccer club), and am a founding member of the Hopkins Education Association.
I have experience with the structuring of Minnesota school district financial accounting and reporting, and have a reputation in business as a committed and excellent financial manager, successful problem solver and respected leader.
